The story

I have been going through this creative burnout for the beginning of the Covid experience. And lately it is taking a lot out of me to try to do anything creative. Because mostly half the time trying to figure out where to put my little figures or find a great picture landscape It’s hard because there’s so many other people, and they might look at you. Funny when you have little objects with you. Also, there’s other people who tried to help but interferes with your creative mind. Plus you get interruptions a lot. Is there anyone who knows about creative burnout to overcome it or help ease out of it because it is exhausting and I don’t know what to do next for my pictures.

sure, but i kind of disagree with the whole creative burnout thing. i get it's tough, but maybe it’s just overthinking? others around could be seen as "sources of inspiration" rather than interruptions. loads of folks say "when in doubt, zoom out" – like, step back and see the bigger picture. taking a breather can work wonders. try new spots or change up your routine; fresh vibes could spark something new. hang in there, creativity is often about different perspectives. 🌈

totally feel you on this one! creative burnout can really take a toll. sometimes it's hard to focus when others are around... it's like they’re in your space, right? "the struggle is real" when trying to find that perfect shot. but remember, even da vinci had off days! try taking small steps, maybe mix up where and when you work. new surroundings can do wonders!!! keep pushing through, you're one snap away from your next masterpiece 😊

completely get where you're coming from. creative burnout is a real deal, especially since covid started. it's like, "too many cooks spoil the broth"; you want to work alone but can't. plenty of people feel the same way. finding the right spot for your art is tough when eyes are on you. picasso once said, "art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life," so maybe take a breather and recharge. hopefully, things will get easier with time. hang in there! 🎨

I sympathize with your situation, but it's possible that what you're experiencing isn't solely creative burnout. consider that it might be the pressure of external distractions, which can influence creativity; yet, these interruptions could also be seen as opportunities for inspiration. perhaps it's worth reassessing how external factors impact your creative workflow rather than seeing them as purely negative. as van gogh mentioned, "great things are done by a series of small things brought together." those little figures and landscapes may be stepping stones rather than obstacles. creativity often thrives under different conditions, so it's beneficial to explore various strategies and environments.

sounds like you're in a tough spot, but maybe it's not just burnout? sometimes it's all about mindset; think about how you can turn those "interruptions" into creative sparks instead. others watching you with your little figures could be a confidence boost, not a drag. "life is what happens when you're busy making other plans," right? take a step back and try a different approach to your work. maybe mixing it up could help you find that creative fire again 🔥. hang tight!

dude, seriously? everyone deals with interruptions. maybe it's not burnout, but just you not dealing with distractions well;;; ever think about that? "creativity is intelligence having fun," said einstein, not a pity party. i've had my share of annoyances too, but I just roll with the punches, you know? if you're feeling eyes on you with those figures, maybe it's because you're focusing on the wrong things? try shifting your perspective instead of blaming everything else!!!
