what do you do if you're good at editing stuff but you don't have any ideas?
if someone tells me to do something specific I almost always know how to achieve whatever effect they want but whenever I try to compose an image by myself without anyone requesting anything of me I feel like all of the creativity has been sapped out of me and I can't even compose a simple image

live actual life and become an interesting human being(?)

trust me anon, people with much less interesting lives than mine have much better ideas than I do

>leads interesting life but is unable to extract interesting perspective from it
aaah, that sucks!
if the problem is stupidity, then there might not be much for you to do about it...

Why are you being mean? I haven't done anything bad to you. I hope that you don't mock everybody that you talk to like this, for your own sake.

I'm pretty much the same. What works for me is starting to work on something that I personally like, and don't think about commercial appeal at all. There has to be something that you really enjoy: anime, video games, movies, whatever. Even if it's clichee or weird, just try to make something you personally think it's cool.

Once the ball starts rolling with that project, it's easier to work on other projects as well

mean? haha
maybe a bit blunt.
but what if my words still carry truth, eh?
don't you agree that *an interesting person* with *above average intelligence* would naturally have somewhat interesting ideas? how does shit work, if not like that? have you ever seen an actually interesting person? it is a delight even just watching them prepare breakfast eggs...
defaulting to "anyone questioning the interestingness of my life and/or sharpness of my brain is mean" honestly seems like a good starting point for entitlement and overall dullness. you are not special-by-default! and there is no reason for an anon to treat you like you were.

also, how could I already be seriously *mean* to you?
seems like calling chinese cookie manufacturers "friendly" for calling you a lovable person with their anonymous mass production commodity(?)
what do you want to hear? coming up with unique shit is hard and requires a unique person...

feel free to follow up.
