I've always wanted to be a creative ever since I was young. I've day dreamed about being one and tried working my ass off trying to write ever since I was around 12. My parents tried pushing me towards it for school assignments. I also wanted to draw but never got into it seriously.

I've been wanting to write again for nearly 2 years now and have barely made any progress towards that goal. I've only done one little drabble like 2 years ago and haven't done any exercises since then. I've been trying to get myself to write, but all of it looks too complicated and exhausting for me. I've tried multiple different strategies, but they never seem to work. I've tried forcing myself to write, but can only make myself write a couple of sentences for barely 30 seconds before stopping and looking at my phone again.

I've never been able to complete a single multichapter story in my entire life and actually coming up with stories isn't much better. I can't think anything through and everything about trying to make an entire story looks too hard for me. I want to be a creative really badly, but nothing I've done seems to have amounted to much of anything. I want to become one so badly, and I want to stop wasting my life doing nothing.


Pic related is the only thing I've managed to draw in a few months.

Okay, here goes: Go to the paper and put your pen down on it!
Imagine going over there. Concentrate hard and only on that. Then do it!

>>7643870
How about give actual advice?

>>7643886
It's not easy. But you're doing great. Keep thinking about drawing. I think we can get you to go to the paper during the next week. I'll be here and talk to you until you're doing it. Keep trying. You're doing so great! You are not staring at a wall which is already a start!
You have to go to the paper! Come on! I believe in you! To draw you have to get near the paper.
To draw you have to go to the paper. Here's a deal: You can take your phone with you. Make your way to the paper. If you want to we can exchange a few messages while you're on your way there. It's not easy but you got this. Going to the paper is the first step! The next step will be to get your hands on the pencil. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. I'll talk you through it when we get there. We can do this together!

Okay, this is definitely way above my paygrade. Are you currently seeking professional help? Are you officially diagnosed with any disorder?

I can only speak for myself, but I was completely fucked for a couple of years because of a very severe case OCD, but in that timespan that I became completely estranged and withdrew entirely from society, I taught myself how to play piano and read sheet music, simply because it was one of the few things that brought me joy and comfort, so I could do it for hours without end, and I had all the time in the world, being completely estranged and whatnot. Whatever it is you are doing, does the actual process of creation, learning and practicing do absolutely nothing for you? I don't know what would fix your issues, but I can tell you, if you don't learn to love the process itself, it will always be an uphill battle.

You talk about writing. Are you actually passionate about literature? Do you read a lot? Do you have a favorite author, one you admire and aspire to write like? Do you ponder the subtext of your favorite stories when you daydream? Are you actually passionate about the subject itself?

>>7643918
No, I can't make myself focus on a single paragraph for more than a minute, I can't make myself read a single story. Even when I try to get into the flow zone, my brain just wants me to finish everything as fast as possible. Nothing else has worked for me in regards to fixing this either.

>>7643868 (OP)

I admire your persistence. This is a good character trait to make it in art!

I'm surprised the jannies don't ban this thread on sight

"Just draw" doesn't work for someone with ADHD, autism and a learning disability. My brain doesn't work that way.

Howie states he "always wanted to pet a dog". The woman offers to let him pet their dog. Howie informs her that he doesn't know how. Without explaining anything, she says "you just do it". This tells Howie literally nothing, as he has already informed her that he does not know how to pet the dog. The woman is incapable of any empathy towards those without her level of knowledge and takes for granted her own privilege. She has no knowledge of Howie's life, clearly if he doesn't know something as simple as petting a dog, he has some issues. She recognizes this fact, but rather than have any sympathy, she is utterly insensitive; immediately accusing an already distraught Howie of "being retarded".

Instead of thinking critically, with compassion and simply telling him "open your hand as if you were waving, then run your open hand down the dog's back", he would know exactly what to do. Her idea of "helping him" is to forcefully grab his hand and drag it across the dog. At this point, Howie still does not know what he is supposed to do. He's been very clear about that. The woman becomes agitated, telling him to pet the dog despite never having explained to poor Howie how to do so. She just expects him to know because she knows. She then starts to fly off the handle and and scream at Howie, escalating the scenario into a confrontation due to her own impatience and negligence. When Howie is in a defensive posture, on the dirty ground, she lurches over his body in an aggressive stance, to the point her husband has to literally pull her away from Howie. Even the dog is angrily barking at him. The couple then leaves Howie to cry confusedly on the ground.

>>7643929
Google “victim mentality” and do things to fix that.

>>7643942
How about give actual advice?

He can keep posting for hours like this but he can't motivate himself to do anything else.

>>7643949
It's almost like drawing is delayed gratification whereas posting on the phone is instant.

don't try to be creative, just try to make something cool / cute. creativity for its own sake is shit. creativity comes through discovery, through exploration of your interest.

I've seen this on /lit/, damn just write already wtf

>>7643978
How do I make myself? I can't make myself do it no matter what medicine I take, no matter how good I'm feeling, nothing.

>>7643980
It's fine. I think we made good progress today. You are doing great, to be honest! We will continue this tomorrow. I have been everyone in this thread by the way, with a little help from a bot I wrote (it's not perfect but I'll get it smoothed out in the future). If we keep our chat going for a few more days, maybe weeks, I think we can solve your issues.
I'll be back in eight hours. If you want to keep talking, I'll leave the bot running. See you! And don't forget: It's really hard with all your issues but you're doing amazing despite all your difficulties! We can do this together! See you tomorrow!

see this >>7644093

GIVE ME ACTUAL ADVICE, NOW!!!!!!

>>7644197
How? I can't motivate myself to give any advice no matter how hard I try.

How do I kill myself? Every single method looks too complicated and there's so many that I don't know where to begin.

GAY

We made him draw a few months ago AND WE CAN DO IT AGAIN, /ic/! We must work together to achieve this!

>>7643888
sissy hypno style art advice might actually be goated in 2025

He will come here and plague us UNTIL WE GIVE HIM ADVICE THAT WORKS!
It's not easy for him. But he is a human being and we must help him to prove that we're the BEST BOARD! So let's work together and MAKE IT HAPPEN!

>>7644410
Holy fucking KINOOOOOO!!!
This is like that time I finally convinced my dad to kill himself!

The only thing that could make Howie draw for real was if someone physically assaulted him and made him draw, literally standing behind him with a whip and abusing him until he did what is asked.

>>7644385
When a YouTube channel is pitched towards kids,comments are automatically turned off.

And you are why.

consume media you like

>>7644323
But how?

>>7644635
How do I consume media? When I look at how many episodes a series has it looks way too long and I'd rather spend that time jerking off and crying about my life.

>>7644611
why are you posting shit for kids here, then?

It boils down to this:
>I want to draw!
The do it.
>No, I can't do it and I can't even do the tiniest step towards it. I can't motivate myself and I can't follow any outside advice from the internet.
Then you need help from your parents or the nurses who help you with your everyday activities.
Three years of coming here have not helped because no one on the internet can help you. Only people in your social circle can help.

That's why he started changing it up, because anons noticed his copypaste bullshit on the archive after the 12 millionth thread with the same shit for months.

Get off the fucking internet, do a dopamine fast (one hour doesn't count)

>>7644880
Everything I want to do involves an electronic device like typing on my computer or using a drawing tablet.

What you want does not matter. Only what you DO matters.

>>7644894
Okay. How do I make myself do it?

>>7644915
Do the thing. You don't need advice. You just need to do the thing on your own. Stop taking outside help.

>>7644918

>>7644922
If you can't do it on your own then need help from medical personnel who adjust your medication.

It's not that I can't handle thirty seconds of work, it's that I don't even know what to do in those thirty seconds. For drawing, i just give up and stop with drawing circles in the first few seconds. I try making timers; but I can't even make myself draw in the first place. Its the same problem with writing outside of doing role-playing. I don't know what to do. I can't even make myself begin anything in the first place. The only thing I can do is lay around while occasionally playing a video game.
