I posted this on pixel-glam! and got some really good advice but it never hurts to get more input so i thought id share it here as well.
Hey guys so I have a bit of a silly problem really. I really want to Rick Astley again but I haven't been able to get myself to actually do anything because I am feeling so intimidated.
All of the stuff I have been seeing on here and DA is so good and so beautiful and I wasnt that great back in the day and now everyone is like just so amazing and its pretty intimidating!
The logical side of me knows that with time and practice I will be good and all that but the inner teenager is just like shut up you suck. I know its silly I blame a lot of it on my dang anxiety it really effects you in so many ways that you dont realize. Like I have just deleted 3 different things i've done because of this and now im to the point that i basically keep coming up with reasons to not even try.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this or something like it and if so how did you overcome it?
I know this is something I will have to overcome but I thought maybe someone else might have gone through some jitters when coming back or even just getting into the dolling world. Any advice is welcome thanks in advanced!

Yes, it will always feel as if everyone else is better. I know this, and for a while it intimidated me, to the point where I just didn't really want to doll anymore. Then I just accepted it and I dolled because dolling is FUN! It's fun, and I don't care if I am good or not. It's fun and I miss it, because there is something very relaxing about zooming in on pixel level and figuring out what the best line, the best shade, the best colour combination is.
It's fun
Keep that in mind and just let loose! Dolling is one place where anxiety really can't get you and it knows it. It's afraid of it
At the same time, don't be afraid to improve, if you want to. It's not mandatory though: so if you get any helpful hints, it's not criticism or a way to get you to stop dolling. Simply say that you are happy with the results, because that is all that matters.
You'll improve, even when you arent trying, I promiss you! But first: have fun!!!
