I've had... an epiphany.

I believe the root of my lack of self confidence stems from my inability to evoke an emotional response. The things I do don't seem to make anyone ask questions or want to know more

How did you come to this decision? Seems like you've had a lot of stuff on your mind lately.

Just sort of talking about what I hoped to accomplish and arguing with someone about whether or not something was actually good. And it just sort of dawned on me that my issue wasn't that I thought it was bad but that I felt like it didn't have meaning.

I see. I understand those issues. And the reverse, too? When people seem to make something much more important than you intended it to be?

I'm sorry if I've ever made you feel this way. Like the things you pour your creative efforts into aren't important or interesting. They are. I think in general people tend to get wrapped up in their own lives and they don't stop to ask for things that aren't explicitly given to them.

I suppose yes. Sometimes that can also be a bit frustrating. Though usually that just stems from me being sad when something I liked more goes unnoticed. I suppose it's just a matter of taste. I just worry sometimes about being interesting enough.
