Has anyone here as an artist, ever felt like an outcast, misunderstood, different from all , esply people close to you, cut off as if no one understands you, having thoughts, imagination, ideas and fantasies that are otherwordly, tired of explaining or proving yourself, wanting to go away to another place or a foreign land. If yes then how do you deal with that as an artist?
Hi Swati,
Yes, many artists feel this way at some point. Being deeply imaginative and sensitive can make you feel out of sync with the world, especially those closest to you who may not see life through the same lens. But this difference is your gift. The very feelings that set you apart also fuel your art and give your voice its unique power.
You don’t need to explain yourself to everyone, just create! Your art is the explanation. And somewhere out there, someone will connect deeply with it and feel less alone because you dared to express what others couldn’t.
Keep going!! The world needs your vision, even if it doesn't realize it yet.
What you have written has just made my day. It's just beautiful. That's why I keep on coming here to this forum again and again.
Creative people see the world through a different lens so I think all artists experience that feeling. Our job is to take them where they can't go by themselves even if they don't know where that place is. I deal with it by understanding that they just can't see what I can. Sometimes I just create to make myself happy.
