Despair as talent? Public.icon
Surviving as an artist, those who are normal people get worn down. As a person with a few problems, I'm enjoying it quite a bit. For example, because there is no fixed salary, you don't know when your tax payments will be delayed, or your future will never be clear, or you will be burdened with debt because you worked but your reward was trampled on, or you get really down when you create something with enthusiasm but it doesn't sell at all. I think it suits people who don't get depressed or get obsessed with these various things.
I'm so unsocial that I pay taxes, but I can't wave hands to people who are broken, I'm used to being anxious about the future and I've given up on it, even if I am trampled, I send emails every month to ask for payment, and I know that my work will definitely sell someday, so I'm fine.

It's common in the world of art, but those who were born to be trouble aren't bothered by it because they're used to it from birth. If someone who was born and raised normally tries to imitate the troublemaker to stand out, they'll mentally break down.
