I feel a lot of what you’re saying. I also have really bad social anxiety but I just tend to freeze up and try to build a barrier around myself. This has made it extremely hard to make friends, when I was younger I would just pretend to be someone I’m not in fear I’ll be made fun of or no one will like me. Though now it has gotten worse to the point that I don’t even try to approach others. When people talk to me (rare occasions) I start to stutter to hurry up and end the conversation even though I genuinely like to talk to people. I start to overthink and feel like they probably think I’m mean and don’t want to talk to them which isn’t true. Though my anxiety gets worse when I’m in a crowd or group, even more so when I have to present in front of said group. My heart starts racing, my body tenses up, and I start sweating like crazy. It genuinely the worse feeling and then after I embarrass myself I just start hating myself. like why can’t I interact normally with others? Why am I so awkward? Why can’t I just ask for someone’s name? Why can’t I make friends? But is this because I’m an artist? Probably, I do not know! 😍
As an artist myself, I have always had artists in my family or at least in my circle One thing I have learned about them is that everyone is unique but the majority of them were extroverted and as sidenote which I found quite intriguing is that the ppl I met online who had unique artstyles they're the most to be dealing with anxiety or at the very least introverted Meanwhile, the ones I knew in real life artists who mainly did realistic art were the ones who were extroverted It's a broad and generalised thing to note but this is what i have experienced Anyhow, for someone like me, I relate to mostly everything you mentioned. Last year was pretty intense. I'd run off class after a presentation, or I'd get a full-blown panic attack if I needed to make the simplest of calls. You'd see me always disassociated from reality and only living in my imagination I'm happy to say it's getting better especially as I met my boyfriend everything seems to be a little bit easier to deal with but I wished that my anxiety didn't exist Thank you for making this video 🫶
Oh yeah, I’ve totally noticed that too, the more “traditional” or “classical” artists are often very open and maybe sometimes even over the top expressive and you can tell just by looking at them that they’re “the person of art” 😅 idk why, but I’ve seen that a lot
I feel like I relate a lot to what you said. Also, I just love the way to draw and render clothes. It’s just mwah and I dream to achieve drawing clothes like that. And I know social anxiety and stuff can be super hard, I experience it myself, but I’m really glad you’re on the path you are even if things are hard sometimes cuz if you weren’t then I guess I’d be trying to find a different artist to be my favorite artist
Aw thank youuu!! 🥹🫶🫶 clothes have been possibly the hardest thing to learn how to draw, and I’m still not 100% confident with that process, so its encouraging to hear that! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
I loved this video, it really touches the topic of social anxiety. As a person who struggles with it I constantly bite at my lips when my anxiety goes up.
(TW: SH AND UNALIVING MENTION!!!) As an artist with depression and social anxiety (and some other personality-related disorders like Borderline Personality Disorder) and been on medication for quite a while, I’m glad you talked about this, since the artists I follow never get into this kind of topics and I was starting to feel like I was alone (none of my friends are artists or have disorders so they don’t really comprehend what’s up with me). Since my mother (I don’t have a father as well) doesn’t support my decision of being an artist, at school I used to be heavily harassed because of my art style and I had a friend that literally didn’t let me talk to other people for years, I started to develop heavy social anxiety and I felt pretty lonely, at the point of doing SH and even trying to unalive myself, I had to switch schools (it didn’t get any better) but I found friends. No artist friends though. I still have disorders, but I’m glad it’s getting more recognition! ❤
I’m really sorry you had those experiences (｡•́︿•̀｡) it sucks, I wish we could control what kind of classmates/group mates we have, I had so many friends at school, but at uni there were none, but for some people it’s the complete opposite, and I think everyone feels left out at some point in life. I’m glad you ended up finding some like minded people !
@@asp.0morph with friends quality is 100% more important than quantity, I also have very few friends, but they’re great! :3 and thank you, that’s so sweet! 🥹🫶
(Haven't finished yet btw) As a fellow 'Drawer'🚪 I'm glad i am getting recognition for my social anxiety📂 But to be real tho, I'm a healthy extroverted artist and all i do is just take fresh air when my head hurts, hang out while drawing with friends. I wish you a reat social experience :)
I have found social anxiety to be very momentum based, in that (as you said) the less you go out and interact socially the worse it gets. It goes he other way too, it can be overcome by just doing things. I think the problem with this for artists is we feel like anytime not creating is wasted time. If I do go out with friends or spend a day outside, all I think is 'I could have finished a drawing instead'.
Oh yes, exactly, I’m a workaholic and even when I’m having the best time with my friends, I still constantly think about drawing projects and other things I need to do And even though I realise that I’m not actually “wasting time” by spending it with my friends, I still can’t stop thinking that way, and that sucks :/
I love love love your style and your speed paints! I will say the best part about them though is how you draw your hands. They always look so good! 🔥🔥🔥
First of all thank you so much for sharing this and making me understand a different point of view. As an artist myself I would say I've had pretty much the opposite experience during covid. I would cry everyday because I wanted to go out and I would do anything like taking out the trash to feel better. And even though I love me a good cozy day at home I can't be home all day like 2 days in a row and away from my friends. Idk for me my friends are kind of an addiction hahaha maybe its because I feel different from my family. I love you and your videos btw❤
I relate so much with the 2020 stuff, before 2020 I was a straight a student, always got work done, always went to school, had a group of friends, but after online school started I just tried less and less. (I was in 6th grade at the beginning of 2020) in 7th grade when we did online and in person school my sister went back and was just fine, I went one day, had a horrible experience, and never went again. And then in 8th grade I would go 2-4 days a week, I missed a full week once and rarely went all 5 days, and I used to think that was bad. Starting in 9th grade I would just miss months in a row. I never had any friends after Covid, which made school just feel so lonely. And I was too anxious to talk to people. Missing so much school when I know so many people are counting on me to go, just makes me feel horrible and like such a disappointment. And it just makes me want to go less and less because I know eventually I’ll start skipping again. It just feels like I’ve dug myself such a deep hole that I honestly don’t even want to try to crawl out of. I haven’t been to school since like- October? I think. And my mom really wants me to go to school after winter break but I honestly just can’t see myself going. Like in my mind there’s no point, I just feel so unmotivated to do anything now, and I feel sad that it’s kinda affected my art too, like I’ve been drawing less and less, I always struggled to finish art pieces but now I’ve only finished two (digital) this entire year and just that felt so draining.
The Social Anxiety and Artist Part: As an middle school kid who does art, I'm more of the extroverted person in my friend group (I have one art friend in there, but i do still show my art to my friends). I don't really have much social anxiety and stuff, I never really did so there isn't much I can say on that part :( The Lore Idea for Alex: He was actually a really, really smart kid so he got the chance to go to a private school, which is where he met Quinton. Quinton never liked him since Alex was a MAJOR goof ball and also because he envied him a little, being able to do work in school so effortlessly and not have to study and what not- he was great at a lot of things.. except listening to rules. Even though Quinton tried to avoid Alex all the time at the school, Alex wouldn't give up and would talk to him everywhere- the cafeteria, gym, class, or just anywhere he got the chance. Soon enough Quinton got used to Alex and his teasing and they became friends. Over the years Alex would introduce Quinton to things Quinton most definitely wouldn't have tried and Quinton did the same to Alex. Alex then got to meet Lixie through Quinto - or just, somehow, and met BEC, who he bonded with within 30 minutes.. Yeah! That's my take on a lore idea- idk, i know it was headed a different way from the og thing you said, but it's something!! Also sorry if I spelled names wrong! Anyways! Have a nice day/night/morning for anyone who's seeing this :D
OMG THATS SO GOOD WHAT Yeah, that’s exactly their dynamic , and Alex would definitely be someone who got bad grades not because of bad knowledge, but because of bad discipline and not following the rules 😄
I used to be an art kid but gave up at some point because I had classmates who were way better than me at art. Even when someone complimented my art, I would think they were faking it out of spite. I started focusing so much on my grades and how well I was doing that I literally burned myself out… In my exam year I started to realise that I was worn out and I started to change mindset. I started to do less school work (enough to pass my exams but not too much yk) And I found my love for art again. After the exam I went to an art school and I’m currently in my 2nd year. I’ve never felt better and I genuinely don’t want to live without art again. Social anxiety has stayed the same sadly. I still have the fight response when it comes to social situations but maybe it’ll get better in the future
Omg that’s so amazing! Yeah, the decision to pursue art instead of going for “a normal job” is definitely not an easy one , but I’m glad you’re happy to be where you are right now(˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
btw as an 'art kid' I might have social anxiety, I'm not in a position to get tested right now but after covid happened and I had to go back to school it was pretty horrible, I thought people were bullying me for being autistic and instead of my dad driving me 10 mins to primary (I'm British btw) I now had to spend half an hour on a very crowded bus (i live near the capital of my country so there's tons of people) where 3 different schools had to go in before going to the town center and then walking 30 mins and i had a ton of health issues and so had to use crutches (i had used them in primary for 5 years without an issue) but when i first came in with them even though, looking back, I realize people treated be the same, same amount of teasing and same amount of people helping and I would actually say more people helping because they were more mature, but I felt like everyone was judging and hating me for making it hard for other people in the class and the classes had to get moved around and, even though I'm still in contact with other people and they have explicitly said they didn't care about classes being moved around and actually liked it because it meant less lesson and more break, I still felt like everyone hated me, it got to a point when I had to become homeschooled and everything is much easier now but I'm scared about going to work when I'm older, I've already got a place at the BBC (BTW THIS IS BRITISH BROADCASTING CENTER NOT ANYTHING ELSE IK THEY HAVE THE ACRONYM) so I will probably have an extra four years to just chill by myself and draw concept art for TV shows which will probably be really fun but yeah. If you have any advice I would love it.
As an artist, im not rlly an introvert. I mean, i love chilling at home and drawing all day. But at shcool, i have tons of friends and i do chior and theater and i always enjoy doing presentation assignments cuz they're easy for me. I enjly going out and art is just a way for me to vent and shove all my ideas on paper, so im not stuck to my head and overwhelmed by everything in there lol.
Real, i think its very subjective and that it can be on both sides. I also love being alone but Im not shy at all and I think I’m very extroverted person with many friends and hobbies . I dont really get anxiety infront of crowds of ppl :)
I feel like my social anxiety raised during covid as well, which was when I picked up art. I was terrified to go back to school. Only this past year have I been able to talk to people I don't really know and come out of my comfort zone, and I think that has a lot to do with the people I'm around. A lot of my friens are extroverts and I guess that's rubbed off on me. I still hate going outside unless I have too or am bored enough, but I don't feel as scared anymore. I don't think art has anything to do with social anxiety, I think that social anxiety has something to do with art, where in people with it will use it to escape to a new world. They turn to art to help bring the world to life. But, that's just my opinion on it.
I just started watching your channel and I love your art!!!! Can you please make a video on how you outline and color hair? I struggle a lot with that and I’m trying to learn from you
I'm not sure I ever had social anxiety, I was mosrly the quiet kid in the corner who draws alot. I do not really had interest to go parties and such with others so I spent most of my time at home alone and draw or craft alot by myself. In the secondary school things become really rough for me, the classmates were horrible (most of them) and may sound funny, but I had an OC with me who... I think I could describe him like an imaginary friend... I guess... A little black bird with a top hat, so he could be with me anytime and anywhere, sitting on my head or on shoulder. He helped me get throu on the harder days, so I was able to get survive these awful years. I loved to stay in those imaginary stuff I had in my head. The near end of school I met my friend, but now I have no one in my life only my artworks and my OCs... So I don't really know at the moment what to do, becouse I was always bad with making friend and keep them. All of them just moved on and I become tired of try to get a new friend over and over again, becouse all of them leave one day without a trace.
... Y'know... I didn't realize how much 2020 messed me up until you started describing what going back to school felt like tk you and I was like... "Uh-oh, that's me"
In my case, having no friends played a big role for me to have social anxiety. I was surrounded by many friends at least during my late teen and twenties and was so called a cool kid but I went to study in UK and happened to make only few friends there even although I tried hard. I guess I started to develop social anxiety during having lonely life. Unfortunately I met a German wife there lol and moved to Germany. My finding is that Germanic people are not only cold but also very shy. Occasionally I made Spanish or Italian friends and have great time but they eventually went back to their own countries. After living here for about 6 years I still got no friend. Btw I became an pro artist during corona and tend to stay at home even longer. I now do have a social anxiety. My heart rate increase during speaking in front of only a small group of people😅
I struggel so much in school >-< (I don't even wanna have a 'normal' job! So why am I going there ...) Like it feels like I'm fainting or that I'm extremly tierd in class (it's also way longer then usual) I especially hate that one class were we have to activly do stuff and interact with classmates, I never go outside besides for school xD :-: I just don't feel independent enough ig, even if I would go outside I would have instant derealization or the other thing similar to it but it's painful to write xD (I already have it just when sitting in my room) Art is legit the only thing that gives me motivation to life and to focus on smt, I'm really judt the weird kid sitting in front so I can rush out of the classroom who also judt simply can't sit normally (damn at this point I'm convinced I'm neurodivergent, I researched a looot so yea ....) send welp :-: Sorry for the rant, I just felt like I had to share this ^^' Good Day/Night y'all!
I love being around people; I mean they are my muses after all. I can’t even imagine the fears and panic I’ve seen some stress through. It definitely doesn’t look pleasant. I see others generally as sources of inspiration and entertainment, to the chagrin of my shy little girl! I can’t find it in me to be afraid of people; I am one.
As an artist.....yes we do
I mean, I don't have social anxiety. I just don't talk to people because I'm sick of them. They're always full of crap.

I think I could describe him like an imaginary friend... I guess... A little black bird with a top hat, so he could be with me anytime and anywhere, sitting on my head or on shoulder. He helped me get throu on the harder days, so I was able to get survive these awful years. I loved to stay in those imaginary stuff I had in my head. The near end of school I met my friend, but now I have no one in my life only my artworks and my OCs... So I don't really know at the moment what to do, becouse I was always bad with making friend and keep them. All of them just moved on and I become tired of try to get a new friend over and over again, becouse all of them leave one day without a trace.
0:20 that's actually crazy, all I do is draw and I'm practically friends with everyone in my school
... Y'know... I didn't realize how much 2020 messed me up until you started describing what going back to school felt like tk you and I was like... "Uh-oh, that's me"
In my case, having no friends played a big role for me to have social anxiety. I was surrounded by many friends at least during my late teen and twenties and was so called a cool kid but I went to study in UK and happened to make only few friends there even although I tried hard. I guess I started to develop social anxiety during having lonely life. Unfortunately I met a German wife there lol and moved to Germany. My finding is that Germanic people are not only cold but also very shy. Occasionally I made Spanish or Italian friends and have great time but they eventually went back to their own countries. After living here for about 6 years I still got no friend. Btw I became an pro artist during corona and tend to stay at home even longer. I now do have a social anxiety. My heart rate increase during speaking in front of only a small group of people😅
im deff an introvert but i dont really get anxious or have anxiety, i dont care that much wut ppl think so yeah idk
I struggel so much in school >-< (I don't even wanna have a 'normal' job! So why am I going there ...)
Like it feels like I'm fainting or that I'm extremly tierd in class (it's also way longer then usual) I especially hate that one class were we have to activly do stuff and interact with classmates, I never go outside besides for school xD :-:
I just don't feel independent enough ig, even if I would go outside I would have instant derealization or the other thing similar to it but it's painful to write xD (I already have it just when sitting in my room)
Art is legit the only thing that gives me motivation to life and to focus on smt, I'm really judt the weird kid sitting in front so I can rush out of the classroom who also judt simply can't sit normally (damn at this point I'm convinced I'm neurodivergent, I researched a looot so yea ....) send welp :-:
Sorry for the rant, I just felt like I had to share this ^^'
Good Day/Night y'all!
Oh yeah I feel all of that (╥ω╥)
yes
i think we spend more time learning how to draw more than learing how to socialize lol
Any other extraverted mentally healthy artists? I need to know that others exist😭
13:01 vape??? 💀💀💀
I thought Alex was gonna be human version of bex-
Yeah, I think he kind of is , they even have the same hairstyle ('. • ᵕ •. `)
I love being around people; I mean they are my muses after all. I can’t even imagine the fears and panic I’ve seen some stress through. It definitely doesn’t look pleasant.
I see others generally as sources of inspiration and entertainment, to the chagrin of my shy little girl! I can’t find it in me to be afraid of people; I am one.
