Coli Creatives - Get in here

Creative Coli brehs with artistic dreams... can be anything creative - painting, drawing, designing, graphic, music, acting, fashion, building apps, bloggers etc

Do you suffer from artist insecurity? If so How insecure are you about your art?

Does that insecurity leave you completely oblivious, blind, and unable to gauge how good your art is or do can you objectively view it?

Does that lack of ability to gauge prevent you from sharing it?

i'm insecure about my music and its crippled me as far as actively pursing it

i still release it, im on all platforms but i dont push it

i'll post in the tunnel every once in a while but that about it

part of that is i dont really know how. i ve tried alot of shyt that just never went anywhere

but its also because its been nothing but rejection thus far

if i try to work with people, they give me the run around

if i submit music anywhere, they dont respond or they let me down easy

i got friends that make content, need music, know i make it but...

people will beg me to play or send them stuff im working on then have no response whatsover

i had to stop playing my music for friends because it put me in my head so bad to have people ask to hear my shyt, then they just talk over it or look around the room all awkward

just last week they were all getting on me saying i be making shyt and hiding it and im like bytch ive been streaming everywhere for years now and none of yall bother to play any of it,ever

on the flipside, ive gotten random love from strangers that lets me know im not complete trash

ive had people stumble onto my songs, playlist them and my streams spike

even still, im hesitant to chase it

i just decided that I love making music, i love the music I make, so im going to release it and i'll push it when I feel like




i just have to quit stopping and going cause thats killed me in the past

ive changed names, deleted shyt...and then have random people catch up to me like "i fukked with your shyt, what happened"

its basically self sabotage due to lack of confidence and uncertainty

I’m like that with my writing, and the few people I do show they say it’s really good. A lot of my stuff is depressing and nikkas (for some reason) clown you for all that sad shyt. So, I keep it to myself for the most part.

I’m insecure about my creative juices running drier one day.

I wrote a comedy screenplay that’s won film festival awards that I KNOW will be a hit if/when I make it. I worry about being able to follow a classic.

I'm insecure about my writing as compared to other writers. Or rather my advancement in my field as compared to others.

I'm confident I can build solid ideas, but worried about my ability to convey those ideas.

let me know what you think, its very rough but just testing darts.

I think a lot of artists suffer that dichotomy of feeling they creation has merit but insecurity of how other’s will react to it.

Definitely has made me more reserved with pushing my beats or mixes.

6 minutes of barracuda bars acapella.

I feel that you have to be slight insecure about your art or else you’re lying to yourself. The best way to judge your art is to sample it to people who knew you for a long time and tell them to give their honest opinion.

dope post but i think its more honest when its even semi-anonymous, your friends/family have your best interests at heart and will keep it sweet and bits of honesty. the people who don't know or care about you will let you know instantly at what type of aesthetics they are looking at.

Spoiler: i love authentic critiques.
