You're meant to befriend people of similar or higher intelligence and use diversity of skill to enhance your effectiveness as a unit. You are not meant to compete or establish a hierarchy. If you believe in that stuff then you are stuck in either autist or normie hell.

To all of the anons ITT that are artists,
YES, you WILL make it as long as you accept the following:
>being skilled means grinding your fundamentals no matter what kind of art you are making
>The most important part is consistency and bloodless practice, this will hone your skills until inspiration hits
>Inspiration doesn't happen it is made; all of those times inspiration "happened" to you was a lucky and unconcious accumulation of habits you should have been conciously cultivating
>as >>212948817 has said non-artists will be intrigued by you, then resent you then admire you in that order, the most important thing is to never give up and remain consistent.
>Never give up and remain consistent!
>Small progress builds up; as an example write one page per day for a week and then increase that two pages the following week etc.
>Ten pages a day is 3650 pages a year
>Never give up and remain consistent
