I already stopped trying to be good.

>>3981772

Never

Okay. I'm about to give up, open your mouth.

I will never stop trying, this is my one true passion and I will do anything in my power to be successful

dont give up anon, i did it alot and I regret everytime, gl!

>>3981772
I already gave up. Now I am killing myself.

>>3981772
if you only do things to feel good then yeah quit. quit everything. living doesnt often feel good so quit living

>>3981772
i tried to give up and live the vidya and other hobbies stuff. it was horrendous after a while.

giving up is worse than failing in the long run.

>>3981772
true that ! no point forcing it.

>>3981772
time is a precious thing.
“How did it get so late so soon?” = good
"how much time since i started ?" = bad

>>3981772
Naaah, I don't thik I will

>become neet to improve my art
>3 years later, only marginal gains
>cant make a living with art
>too mentally challenged for a normal job
>mfw father came to my room yesterday to tell me I've got 3 months to leave his house.
What are some painless methods lads?

>>3981772
> Don't give up bros, you will feel better
ftfy

>>3981941
Google exit bags.

>>3981941
/ic/ warned you
/ic/ told you you weren't gonna make it

>>3981941
Get a pizza delivery job or something instead of moving out.

>>3981784
That pic surely proves your point

>>3981772
I know that relief you feel when you let go of something that you have been desperately holding on to but if you don't have anything to fill that void, you will eventually get depressed and want to go back to the old habit

>you will feel better
AND YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT?

The only thing that scares me more than never making it is the absolute certainty that I could just let it all go, work for a company in some mundane job and LIVE A HAPPY, COMFORTABLE, AVERAGE AND FULFILLING LIFE.

It's make it or break it for me, nigger.

>>3982017
same

>>3982017
if you find a live without doing art happy and fulfilling then you truly should give up

>>3981941
you leave his house and start living like a men now

>>3981772
So you can go hack to vidya or watching shows? How foolish. Without art your future will be dull, bolted to the soulless job that is coding.

>>3981772
Hey friend
It's okay if you made up your mind to stop pursuing art, but please don't try and drag down others with you.

>>3981772
I tried but I actually have fun drawing? Is that weird? I even take jobs now

>>3981772
Just because you're a miserable sack of shit with no motivation doesn't mean you have to drag hardworking people down to your level you fucking catheter

>>3981772
AWAY FROM ME APPARITION! YOU WILL NOT SEDUCE ME INTO GIVING UP TODAY, NOW BEGONE!

>>3981772
you're saying to give up and that it'll make you feel better once you stop trying. that is literally the biggest cope mindset i can imagine.
on the off chance that you're not trolling and being remotely genuine, you're a fucking loser and you deserve all the bad things in your life and coming your way.

> Study obsessively
> Don't see enough progress
> Get discouraged so I stop for a little while
> Get into it again, suddenly better at the things you studied
Why does this happen?

>>3982232

Comfort zone.

>Just want to have fun
>Your art friends don't want to have fun with you. Feel secluded from the group
>Continue to draw alone

>>3981772
>urge to draw comes back stronger
Couldn't give up even if I wanted

>>3982232
Had more time to process what you've been doing. Can come back with a fresh start.

>>3981941
>he fell for the NEET mode meme
Your biggest art gains will come when you have other shit going on in your life with social circles, healthy mind and body, etc.

People like Algen are the exception, not the rule. Get your life on track and your physical and mental state will improve your focus, optimism, everything.

>>3982257
this is the truth, no matter how many time you want to give up you just get back to drawing until you give up on give upping

>>3982372
Algen had an art thot he used to draw with. Had his own apartment as well (euro neetbux if you stay a student)

>>3981941
Stab him to death then live out the rest of your days in prison.

>>3982372
nothing you wrote here doesn't to apply to the NEETlife though
>social circles, healthy mind and body, etc.
In fact, I'm a NEET and I have all of those
anyway, I've made more gains in 1 year of neetdom than 4 of wagecucking.

>>3983343
wut, his father could maybe be the father of others and also contributing to the society, why should he die and the son waste tax money in prison?

just suicide. OP doesnt have to bother, and his father maybe learns from his mistakes as a parent

>>3981772
About what? also pyw

>>3981808

>>3981772

I can't give up. I'm a college drop out, manlet 5'6, no skills, barely employable, unattractive, antisocial, sexless piece of shit. I have nothing else going for me. Nothing.

>>3981772
>tfw you are so close to finally finishing your first lewd from imagination after years of toil with the loli form
>realize that you wouldn't be able to post it anywhere
Not like this.

>>3981772
This is my hobby, im just here getting free courses and watch “artists” suffer

>>3981772
>imagine caring this much about art

Nigga I just do this shit for fun

>>3982232
>i can imagine.
>on the off chance that you're not trolling and being remotely genuine, you're a fucking loser and you deserve all the bad th

because you love the idea of being and artist, but not actually doing art.

>>3983907

Are you me

>>3983907
90% of 4chan

>>3983907
This hits too fucking close to home, everything you said checks out for my life except for the drop out bits, which I am also very close to. Fuck. FUCK.

>>3983907
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>3983907
Except you do give up. You just didn't realize it yet.

OP here, i'm just a little sad that my latest piece is shit so i just shitposting.
Reading you guys talk make me feel better, don't give up
>>3983907
Have sex

>>3983930
>>3984025
Heh same here. Funny you guys would actually consider art as a full time career

>>3981772
I'm a 29 year old beg, I fell into a downward spiral, starting and giving up art back when i was 15/16 or so, I've lived in a constant depressed state since and have always been a NEET and dropped out of multiple other things after short periods of time trying to get back on track.

It was difficult and painful and there's still issues for me to tackle, but ever since Ive got over a lot of things mentally and started to draw again, I feel like my life is starting to have value and I'm the happiest I've ever felt in years.

I may never make it, and even if its just for myself, I can live the rest of my life doing something I love again.

If you really love art you will one day find your way back to it, and it's good to take breaks, but I constantly live with the regret that I lost all those years. Don't go down the same road I did, keep fighting.

Just cuz youre shit and will always be shit doesn't mean all of us are like you

>>3984318
pyw or i'm gonna fuck your ass anime girl!

>>3984301
>I may never make it, and even if its just for myself, I can live the rest of my life doing something I love
this is what matters

dont give up, anon- kun!

>>3981772
Fuck you OP, you still have a whole life going, even if you dont make it a career you should still pursue art as an unique form of escapism from this mundane life. To leave something behind you when you die and not just become a vague memory that will slowly fade from everyone's mind, to set a goal in your life and feel realized knowing that all the suffering in life is worth if you are able to make art and feel proud of it. Don't be a fag please.

>>3984318
Very true, but the idolshit pic means you are probably not very good at anything in life

And im not saying that to be nasty. Its a real observation of idol fans/people. They dont seem like theyre all there.

Weak, weak weak weak... YOU WON'T MAKE IT IF YOU ARE WEAK

>>3981941

1 month to get a job,
1 month to get a rental,
1 month to move.

Break your objectives down anon, I would say try to hold off on the drawing for now until you have moved.

Im already improving in a fast pace so why would i give up ?

>>3981772
>>3982254
This.
Art should be about expressing yourself and have fun with others but it has devolved into another consumerist media.
10 years from now art will completely be just another soulless job which constists of drawing borderline porn so that it can sell whatever they're advertising for.
Most artists were never recongnized until after the day they died because then their paintings had value and could be sold at high prices.
That's why people buy art. They hope you will die to re-sell the smut you drew for 20 bucks, tenfold.
Don't bother getting good. Stop giving a shit and just have fun.
>inb4 ngmi
>implying having a soul is a bad thing

Too late. I already rely on it to pay my bills. If i give up now, I starve.

But anon I've already made some progress in the few years I've been drawing off and on, and I'm happy with my art as are the people around me. why would I stop?

>>3981772
Hopefully you all keep trying your best!

>>3981772
Quit. Take a break and take care of yourself first. You look like you've been neglecting everything else on your life. Come back to drawing when your mental health gets better

>>3985294
Thanks, mate.

>>3981941
Helium. Humans don't have receptors for helium like co2.

>>3981772
the only reason i'm thinking of not giving up is because all the fuckin art supplies i got =
NGMI +_+

>>3984301
but do you really like maikng art, or just the idea of being an artist ?

>>3981772
No i wont and as much as many here would like to pretend that they will, they wont. The guilt of throwing away somthing they aspired will eat away at them as they ponder the what ifs every night before crying themselves to sleep.
They will constantly put themselves down as they give up on idea after idea feeling as though theyre gonna just half ass it and give up when shit gets rough, even if the desision was thier own, even if it turned out ok in the long run, they wont feel better at least not for a very long time.

>>3985403
> the idea of being an artist ?
definitely this
fantasizing about all the things im going to draw goes away when i sit down and realize im gonna have to do that shit for thousands of hours to even get remotely good

>>3983907
What do most of those have to do with art desu

>>3983907
At least you're not all of those + 27 y/o

>>3985911
lol exactly. i don't know how de fuk i ended up learning all those fundies, but in the end i can't even draw.
and this have nothing with my level of skill, i leveld up sure, i see potential. the process itself is the problem. i have put out the hours, there's was this one time that i painted for hours a day literally all day, for a month. what's the point of doing it if it's not all the way ?

>>3986583
>what's the point of drawing for hours if some faggots can just draw tits on a stickman and rake in the big bucks while you stare at the barrel of a gun thinking how good it will all become if you just stopped wanting to suffer?
You're either truly exceptional, a sociopath or can just off yourself.
And the choice is randomized every day.

>>3981772
why did you start drawing ?

>>3981941
Google "exit bag".

>>3985403
Making it, I get a deep sense of satisfaction crafting something with my own hands.

It was a bit of a double edged sword though and played a part in why i originally quit, I got super autistic about making it perfect so much so that I became terrified of the blank piece of paper and just thinking about it made me feel sick.

>>3987415
Did you ever pick it back up? You're still here.

>>3981772
>autistic grind for a week
>can't think of anything I'd like to make to work towards
>realize I don't enjoy any of this
>realize I don't enjoy anything at all
>quit because existential crisis
>go back to grinding the next day because what else am I gonna do

that's how I spent my last eight years desu

But then what would I be neurotic about?

>>3981772
Fuck off gains goblin

It actually makes me feel better when people like are in boo hoo I'm going to just quit mode.

You just weren't born with it, right?
It's not your fault, right?
Others aren't working as hard as you, right?

I guess we all need a way to get to sleep. See you later, OP
