I hear you… that really sucks.
You used to love drawing so much, but now every time you pick up your pencil, there’s this heavy voice in your head saying “you’re wasting time again.” And when your family actually says stuff like “wow, do you have nothing else to do?”, it makes it even worse. No wonder your art rarely improves — it’s hard to get better when you feel guilty just for doing the thing you love.
It sounds like the joy got slowly taken away, and now drawing feels more like a burden than something fun. Even though you still really want to draw and create, that “I must finish it” pressure + the fear of being yelled at just kills the motivation.
Honestly, feeling numb like this is really lonely. Like you’re just existing, not really living.
You’re not lazy or wasting time. Wanting to draw is not a crime. It’s okay to feel tired and numb right now.
If you want, you can tell me more about it — like what kind of art you used to love drawing, or how their words usually hit you. I’m here to listen, no judgment.
You don’t have to force yourself to “love drawing again” right away. Sometimes it’s okay to just sit with the numbness for a while.
Take care ❤️
@Sea4pplesfunny546 thank you
it was fun back then :(
Thank you for your reply ❤️ It was so much fun back then… I feel so nostalgic. I understand that feeling. When a moment that once brought great joy becomes heavy and stressful because of the words of those around you, it really takes away all motivation. You don't need to draw a lot or draw "well" right now. If one day you just want to pick up a pen and doodle something for fun, without finishing it, without making it beautiful… then just do it. Nothing can be applied. I'm still here if you want to tell me more about those response drawings, or just want to complain about how difficult it has become now. Take care ❤️
