How the fuck do I shake this feeling of thinking that I won't be able to learn something? I practice besides that feeling every day for hours but this shit is starting to eat me alive. Today I masturbated and I needed to stop because it was so sad to see all those shit tier porn artists being better than me, that they grasped things I haven't grasped yet.
A plastic bag tied over your head should work.

I'm not hyperventilating, it's more like a lingering feeling that is always aroudn me. Even when I get something and feel happy and confident I immediately feel shame because I thought like that.

The longer you do art the more you come to realise that only certain feelings matter. You learn to block out other feelings because they slow you down. You become a machine that just studies and paints. Study and paint. Study and paint. Nothing else is important or will help you. Just study and paint, no emotions.
Save your emotion for other aspects of your life but not for this.Learn to turn that part of your brain off. Being an artist is like being a drug dealer, never use your own product. As artists, our product is intense emotions. Whee people see your work you want them to say "wow that's awesome" or "damn thats fucking sexy" Or "holy shit man this painting speaks to me"

He is an annoying little shit, isn't he?
Well. If he's got good advice then, fuck it.
All I do now is try to draw, all day long, because I have nothing but free time and I'm absolute shit at it. So, you know, not like I can really talk.
