how to not be discouraged from posting art?
hi everyone! first time posting here :) I'm an artist and I'm new to posting on reddit. I have been checking upvotes, comments, time passed since I posted, karma, upvote ratios, other artists, etc and I can't help but compare myself and getting upset when my posts don't do well. my first post did unexpectedly well and that made me set the bar too high because I'm trying to make all my posts do as well as my first one. I understand I haven't posted enough to compare or judge trends yet, and I also know this is a common problem among people online. I just want advice so I don't damage my mental health. thank you!!
