Whoa, are you mirror universe me, confessor (or am I mirror universe you)? Just reverse the genders involved and swap writing with drawing and I could have sent this in.

Glad you found something you enjoy now confessor. Now let's hope that there won't be anymore envy towards other programmers or artist.
I don't know why I didn't expect this to go bad so quick. I was actually happy reading this for the first three sentences, and then....

I'm glad to see everything worked out okay. Best of luck in your new endeavor!

I meant whoever submitted your confession.
That's just what it's like for a lot of people in art and music at a young age. The problem is that art and music by nature are extremely competitive (especially before you're able to commit to studying it in school, although I could argue both are harder from there) - in order to get validation that you're actually doing well, you constantly need to be pitting yourself against other people your age, and that really sucks. I was like the confessor with music, except that I never even developed a love for what I was doing, I just liked being good at something. I picked up drawing as a hobby too, but at least I was a little happier doing that because I knew I was bad at it, although I did (and still sometimes do) get upset when my peers have so much obvious talent and I have so little.
Good on confessor for finding something they like though. Programming is pretty awesome and a lot of people in the field are super supportive. It's the only thing that makes me happy to study it.
I mean, they did say they watch anime.
They didn't say they were Miss Write Angry!
Ok, I'll be honest: I thought it was a boring confession.
At least draw erotic fanart between you and your senpai and have a panic moment where they almost find it before graduation. Also he's your long lost brother who licked your nipple and thought your butt looked fine from afar. He wanted revenge on your ex-boyfriend.
Ok actually I just want someone to write a story that links all the confessions together.

lol yeah, which artist doesn't eventually hate what they are doing.

bitch I'm taking calls.
But it's a really shitty, not-very-juicy story to submit as 'their' confession? They just look like a douche and a boring asshole. Or, by extension of using my story, reminded GAF that I'm a douche and a boring asshole.
I recognize a lot of myself in you, confessor. It took me a stupidly long time to not look at someone else's art and immediately judge whether they were "better" than me or not. Those that were better I hated, those that weren't up to my skill level I disregarded. I hated myself for the way I'd look at other artists, and eventually I hated my own art because of it.
Then I took up writing as a hobby, and found that special place where I could be creative without constantly comparing myself to other people. And I took up drawing again on my own terms, working to improve just for myself without competing with anyone else. It's a pretty great feeling.

oh, god no. I can't stand anime and don't wear glasses, plus was fairly popular growing up. My sympathies to the confessor, though.
I can relate to that last confession too. I didn't draw out of angry or envy or whatever though, but I did give up on drawing and becoming a professional artist because of the amount of pressure I was putting on myself. I don't think that it's uncommon for creative individuals to feel that way as I've know a number of people who have had the same struggles.
Now I'm studying childcare and starting to slowly get back into drawing as a hobby after 3 years.

I guess many people with a drawing or painting talent can relate. I took up drawing and painting again since I'm unemployed atm., luckily I finally managed to do pieces that can be framed and put on a wall. I just fear it might make my appartment look very depressing once it will be decorated with that stuff.

I know I'm a little late on this one but wow, confessor, you are a Grade A piece of shit. Wanting to get girls pregnant just to get off on it is disgusting and something that WILL bite you in the ass sooner or later. Not only that but I can't stand the attempt to justify cheating on your girlfriend like that, like physical cheating is no big deal. It is a big deal because she doesn't know about it. How would you found out she was screwing guys behind your back? Do you think she'll be okay when she finds out? That's not love. You can't say you only love her when you're having unprotected sex to get other women pregnant behind her back because you clearly don't love her. You know she'll find out too. She most definitely will with the bullshit you're pulling.
You need some serious help and you need to stop this shit now. There's no mount of karma that can help you here, only the kind that will come back to haunt you and you deserve every bad thing that happens to you.

I didn't think the confession was boring. Stay on that happy track, confessor. 
Soulfucker is obviously the only person for the job.
As for the confession, I suppose it is pretty standard angst that young creative people go through. That said, I can't really relate as I do art for a living, am not particularly good at the creative aspects and don't feel the slightest bit jealous towards my more talented peers. I do a good job due to having strengths at other aspects, and that's enough. There'll always be someone better, and you should only create for yourself at the end of the day.
Exactly. It's just boring, average, everyday teenage angst dressed up a little.
No shit that between the ages of 12 and 16 confessor changed as a person and were pretty much an asshole, that goes for 90%+ of the population.
Then further no shit that between the ages of 16 and 18 confessor changed some more, looked back on their past self, and realised what a fuck up they were.

I actually like hearing about shitty/downright disturbing things people did when they had too many hormones in them.

what's the difference between indie, mobile, console, big budget confessions? the size of them?

You do know that these threads aren't just about confessions that involve sex/incest/violence/sociopathic behavior, right?

This just brought back memories.
Being a fat kid, I fucking hated that part of PE. Then again I was considered the 4th-from-worst choice to dance with. Eventually I cut a deal with a similarly-maligned girl that we'd always dance together just to avoid that awkward shuffling around to find someone willing to dance with you and that first few seconds of "ugh, why do I have to dance with them?" resentment.
In retrospect, what a stupid thing to be doing during PE. I never even went to any of the school dances.

Dancing in PE? The fuck? I assume this is an American thing?

Don't think so. I've never heard of that as an American.
I'm American and I never heard of this...

I had to do this in middle school. Lived in SoCal btw. It wasn't partner dancing though; just line dancing.
It might just be that particular teacher. My grade 7 English teacher forced us to learn slow dancing, because according to her it was a valuable life skill.
Good for you confessor
I went through a pretty similar phase back in school too. I liked drawing, I got pegged as "the drawing guy" and early on I really enjoyed it as well. Then I started to hate it, and after school I felt compelled to continue doing something along that line of work "just because" I felt like I had to. It didn't help that said course I ended up picking because of that, I failed (and that was already following a really poor, final year at school).
It took me a long time to bounce back from that (in retrospect, I feel like I may have gotten depression after that whole string of events. I barely remember anything from the second year other than feeling like a useless POS who couldn't even finish their course). I still haven't figured out what I can do for a living, though I've gotten back to drawing (I've just resigned myself to being bad at it)
Good on you for bouncing back so quickly, and for finding something you enjoy and could probably make a career out of.

I'm Canadian and we had to do dancing for PE in Junior High so...no it isn't.

Your assumption is as wrong as you using two spaces after a question mark.
Animu is love, animu is life.

It's all the revenge ones. There's a spin-off where he plots his revenge for like 5 years and then fucks someone's mum.
I had to do dancing as a big part of PE back in high school here in Australia.
