As a lot of creatives are having problems with self-doubt, I feel like it's only appropriate to create a little thread on tips for getting rid of this.

I've been there, and it is extremely frustrating.
“Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.”

- William Shakespeare
There's no doubt that this problem is usually caused by social media.

Fix? Delete social media.
Not ready yet? Unfollow people without value.
Look at the progress you've made.

Remember your work last year? pfft, that was trash, right?
This shows that you have increased your skills.
Sometimes, it's simply because they have been designing for a longer period.
Get a boost of optimism!

There's nothing like a boost of optimism to make you forget about everything else.
Seriously, lock yourself out of social media for a day.

Just try it once.
See where it takes you.
Sleep on it.

Step away from the screen.
Do some human interaction.
No one can own a circle, triangle, or square.
It's for you to use. Go ahead.
Hope you found some value or at least a laugh out of this little thread.
Have a great day!
