It's not fear so much as when I was attempting to make it into a business, it was beginning to feel like a chore rather than fun. I may start again, but for now, I enjoy being an Activity Aide in a nursing facility. Covid and living in a mask were draining my energy, but I'm getting it back and enjoy making and giving gifts. Thank you for being here and sharing your talent and all your encouragement, enthusiasm, and joy! ❤️

My anxiety with people. I'm fine online but in person I am shy and have a hard time talking.

It’s sort of a tie between over-judging myself and fear of others judging it. I find I end up being kind of self-deprecating when I do present my art to others, because of that fear, so I end up doing one thing so the other thing won’t happen as badly lol

I don't judge my art. I like it and, as I don't sell it other than to friends and family, I really done care for opinions of others. It's for my creative release and my satisfaction. If they like it and want to buy it, cool.

I can create it, photograph it (getting better at this) and price it. However, setting up the display to sell my jewelry at Art Shows (I've done lots of research and watched many videos) and marketing is a challenge for me (I hate to be pushy). I also love to upcycle jewelry. :)

it's a whole lot of things combined for me. I'm afraid of putting my all into something and it not working out because my brain will accept it as rejection. I'm afraid of people not being receptive of it and ending up losing profit. I'm afraid of getting disinterested because that happens to me a whole lot. So yeah. I'm still gonna try though :)

I have a combination of things that give me anxiety about my art... judging myself, jugement of others, over promising and under delivering, and keeping up with demand. I know most of it is just in my head, but there are definitely moments I feel super overwhelmed.

Combo of being to hard on myself & fear of selling something over priced and I end up under cutting myself. The funny thing about me being hard on myself is I notice people like the art work I think is not my best work, so why don't they like (my idea of best) this used to drive me nuts but I don't stress on it as much. Lol CRAZY ARTIST MIND, but I have both ears 😂

My ADD causes me to start a million at once and not finish most. 🤷

Sometimes it's like a flood of ideas start, and I love that. But the getting started and finishing is a challenge for me. UNTREATED ADD🥴

Having to put the "proper" value on it when selling. Without undercutting or underselling 😅
