I've been stuck in a creative rut for nearly a year. It's taken a while, but I've finally decided to let go of my perfectionism and start doing what I love again.

4 years and still the best video out there , reminding us to be us and don't be afraid to express ourselves in this world. Thank you for this beautiful message man! I was always afraid to post videos due to people judging but now i just do it , it's not perfect , it's not as i wanted but as long it reaches the people , the video did the job. I stopped judging my work and let people do it instead even though i can see lot of changes or improvements which could be made. I stopped aiming for the perfect video. People view stuff differently from you and things you see as flaws are things people don't even notice or don't mind. i don't know if this will ever be replied, i just wanted to know if we can use this message as an audio for a video..

@icybinar858 5 лет назад

Even though I'm only 15 years old, I'm also a perfectionist. My mental health hasn't been great for the past few months and I would even call it depressed. I also have autism and show signs of compulsive behaviour which make me feel disconnected from the world and often alone. Yeah, I do overthink and I shouldn't but it seems impossible. I've got 0 motivation, 0 'real' friends nor hobbies. The only reason I'm sharing this right here is because I don't now how to talk about it irl.

@aarcadee 5 лет назад

If possible, bring it up with you parents and seek professional help. Even if you're opposed to medication (which in my opinion isn't the best way to deal with issues) you can still learn many behavioral techniques that could help you get to a point of motivation again! I've dealt with Bipolar I and really bad anxiety since I was 15. That was a decade ago, and I still go talk to a therapist from time to time. There's no shame in it, and no shame in talking about how you feel. And as someone who didn't have many friends growing up, all I can say is don't change, for anyone. Be you and true to yourself. It may not happen now, but I promise, people who find honest value in you will come. I hope this message maybe gave you some comfort in knowing you aren't the only one dealing with feelings like these. Millions of other people deal with it too. You aren't alone.

@nindajuka8427 5 лет назад

Always sharing with your parents about your problems, what you feel, discuss with them how to solve it. Communication in family would help to reduce your depression, trust me just by talking will make it better.

@MaryJenevieve 5 лет назад

“I stopped viewing my work as an artist and just began viewing it as a judge” Oh my god, yes. I relate to this on such a deep level. I haven’t created a video in 8 months because I feared so much that my videos weren’t perfect, I slowly lost the passion for it because I was so critical of myself and what I “couldn’t do” and focused so much on the idea that “everybody else is doing is better than me”. Comparing myself to others felt like a curse that I couldn’t get rid of. But I was forgetting that I was bringing a couple minutes of peace to Atleast one persons life with the videos I was making. And I was forgetting how I would feel after making a video even though it would be super amateur. We need to continue to create because we enjoy it and not because we want it to be perfect. Of course learning to master your work is great but that shouldn’t be the only focus. We need to focus on just expressing our imagination. Sometimes we need to be oblivious and think our work is the greatest so that we can continue improving by constantly creating.

Actually when you are a perfectionist you are constantly keeping your mind indulged into thinking how it should'nt be or how it should be ...and when you are not in control of making things *perfect* so you basically get depressed...and it keeps you stress without any reason...but the problem is you try to ignore and make yourself to feel like forget it...but its so hard it keeps you stuck in your mind... i feel the perfectionist should take life easy try to enjoy life and be happy because thats how we can feel normal like other human beings...because for me i feel its a personality disorder or mental illness or something lol ..for example you are outside and you see things messy you imagine on your mind that you are actually cleaning that stuff and how it would feel to be all cleaned with dettol liquid steamer and then i will use perfume air freshner and then i will sit there with a clean chair and a carpet and feel good about it...sounds like a phycho person when they find peace in killing person and enjoy lol😄😄

Because perfectionism and people pleasing is just in our heads, and if we listen to them, there will be always more to achieve or help... but if we listen to our hearts it will always be enough 🤗
