I never had an imaginary friend, but if I had a chance to pick one I would've chosen the one in the upper left corner. I mean look at the hairstyle, s/he is a real deal
Why the guy in middle doesn't have a nose?

Haha, yeah, I totally love her hair as well! Dreaaads
But I wouldn't really go as far as calling him an imaginary friend - though I wouldn't mind if he became one since I always wondered what it was like to have one xD - I just couldn't picture the glass being polished any other way than if a human did it. But when I imagined him doing it, with time, he became more and more lively and he got a face. I just really liked the cheerful way he polished those chambers and he seemed nice so I thought if I could get to the point where I could use him as a tool to fight my nervousness, that would be awesome... Buut it'll probably never happen 'cause my only useable tool so far is to talk like crazy to distract myself xD
Just saw someone draw characters without noses when she wanted to show off hairstyles so I tried it out and so far, it seems like an easy way to create characters ^^ the noses always take too long for me D:

You've got a very good visual memory, honey. I am the opposite, sometimes I can not recognise people I met IRL XD
Is your nervousness a reaction to other people's actions? Or you drag yourself to this state by overthinking smth? Or you get nervous only in specific situations (like me during job interviews D
Then why bother to draw eyes and eye-leads and a mouth if the only thing you care is hair style? It's irrational

Haha, I see why that might be a problem xD
Want to say a little of everything, but I guess a lot of everything would be more accurate. I've got social anxiety so I'm nervous pretty much all the time :/ now it's outthere xD
Because I like drawing and a character is more than just hair xD? In that aspect, the nose is important too, but I just fuck it up so often that it ruins my will to draw. So just doing characters without let's me draw more than just 5 minutes without getting mad xD

But you are very social here on DA and you are not afraid to share your art and receive comments/critics. But possible (often not even expressed) other people's opinion IRL bothers you? You are walking paradox, Dane ;D
Sometime I get confused with what people are trying to say because.... because English is not my native language xD

Hehe, well, on dA, I'm "anonymous." I love hearing people's opinion and getting critique, I like that in real life too, but in real life, people can watch me while it happens and me no likey for lots of reasons. It's easier for them to criticize me for the person I truly am and when you don't like who you are, how can you not fear what others think? I don't know, I'm just a living nerve wreck and no one - including myself - knows what happened 'cause I wasn't always like this. I just figured the first step to getting better is talking about it and I guess it felt easier to say on here rather than to someone IRL. I guess I'm just always afraid I'm not good enough.
Hahha, me too so don't worry xD

If you know for sure that there are no objective reasons for you to be anxious so often then the problem might be in the inner chemistry of your body. And it's not necessarily a disease. Your nerve system might just naturally became more sensitive/responsive to specific hormones. Or it might be the case that your body experience a deficiency of some vitamin needed for some processes inside your brain. What I am trying to say is that our reactions are not always a product of our inner conflict with ourselves, sometimes they are just the result of some process in our body. And it is relatively easy to fix with the help of right specialists.
It's great that you can express yourself through art and share your feelings with DA people. But look at the situation from the other angle. You fear to tell someone in your real life that you fear to be judged by other people and the reason why you fear to tell them about it is b/c you fear that they will judge you as well. It's kinda a vicious circle. I think you need to do exactly what you fear. Why not to share with one of your friends about the problem? It is their job to support you in any situation and it's a 24 hour job ;D Talking with a friend is like a free therapy, you know. But there is other reason to make someone IRL aware about your struggles. If it is as tough as you describe at some point you may experience kinda a crisis so you might need an immediate help which you can get only from people IRL.
And one more thing. From what you show (as an artist and as a person) on DA everyone can clearly see that you are more than good, you are one of the best.
P.S. If I crossed loads of lines with this pep talk, do not hesitate to throw smth heavy in my direction

I'm a little confused about the whole thing though ^^"

That's very understandable. It's just my mind working on half power xD

No I don't understand chakra or anything of the sort

He's very cute. Such an honest, wholesome, earnest, face
When I was young I had a little fox I imagined up. I think many of us had something like that.

Ah, good thing he turned out to look how he acts ^^
Actually, when this little guy popped into my mind for the first time, I thought, wow, do you happen to be Denmark's lost cousin or something xD?
Maybe

Since I mentioned the Denmark, I have to recommend this "Gutters" fic to you if you're ever bored. It's not too long, (read it on my iphone in bed two nights when I couldn't sleep) and generally regarded as the second most famous hetalia fic. www.fanfiction.net/s/6122026/1…
Reasons I think you would like it:
1. Denmark with a rifle

2. Cannibalism
Oooh so this was after your discovery of hetalia. Yes, having an actually imaginary friend... to me that would push the sanity borders a bit. I can't visualize so well what you're talking about he was cleaning, but I think it helps our psychology to personify things. Our brain may not have the power to cleanse those chakra things on its own. But it can imagine a little guy doing it.
Guess what weirdo wasn't at my table yesterday?

Yeah, I've heard about it, but never got around to read it xD I guess I'll try to read it. Seems short enough to keep my interest xD
I know it's pretty well-known, but I actually thought it was the number 1 known. What's the first? I know faves and reviews aren't everything, but damn, it has A LOT considering it's only 20 chapters. But it still doesn't come near loads of others on at least fanfiction... Anyway what's the first one, now I'm curious xD
Ooooh... Yes, I definitely think I'll like it xD
Yeah, exactly xD It's not like I've ever talked to him or anything like that. I just needed a tool to wash those damn things and he just happened to pop up every time instead of it being a new character. I just wanted to draw him 'cause I thought he was kinda cute ^^
YAAAY! Was she sick or did you just finally get through to her?

Auf Wiedersehen Sweetheart by George DeValier is the most famous (to my knowledge.) And as you said, reviews and favorites don't mean so much. The fiction that won best writing in that fanfiction contest I was in last year was only some 15,000 words, two chapters, and was nothing special when I thought I'd read it. Had like, 40 reviews. I don't know how anyone even found it. Was a USUK in a space station where Arthur was an astronaut and Alfred was a talking computer to run the ship and they somehow found his body and kissed blah blah.
I don't know why Gutters is so famous. I think it has more than it deserves. Mostly in that it broke a few taboos and followed a few cliches. It only has some 700 reviews, but over 1,000 favorites. It's good... but when I read it a second time I thought, this isn't amazing. It didn't teach me anything. Wiedersehen made me feel and think differently and the research was incredible. And I like mine because it raises a big question without answering it, and people told me they used the information in their lives to make judgements. But, maybe Gutters is famous because it did have a teary cliche, which Hetalians are too uneducated to realize as something that's been done enough.
But don't let this dissuade you from reading it, I'd be more specific but since you haven't yet I don't want to spoil it.
Well, I just had the third lunch of which she wasn't there, and I think I saw her at another table. I had my suspicions she would move away because she just didn't have that much in common with us and that was part of why I felt she didn't belong. Even though my table is a bunch of misfits anyway. She could find friends better suited to what she liked than us. There was already a space for her at the pothead table, etc. But the funniest thing is, the other day she put her bag there and we had a new joiner. Who took her spot. And I guess with a new person she didn't feel bad leaving us. I don't know why everyone wants to join my nothing special table. But I don't mind this new girl, she hasn't made much of an effort to be friends with me but that's fine-- she doesn't need to kiss the ass of everyone at the table to join it.

Wow... that hasan INSANE review count for such a short fic!! I guess I might have to check that out too. Shouldn't I know the two best Hetalia fics outthere xD?
HAHAH! Sounds bad xD At least not like my cup of tea xD
Uuh, breaking taboos! Now I'm even more excited about it xD
Hmm.. well, it's all about taste, really. I generally like authentic movies and slow movies - slow in development. And GOOD comedy... As in I hate (sorry) the classic American kind of comedy (don't worry, British satire and comedy is worse xD They have such a weird sense of humor.) I love feeling that I'm being enlightened or reconsidering my ideas of life or questioning things (without these being preachy) - like V for Vendetta. So it doesn't sound like either of these stories are for me, but since we're different people and will think different things when reading them, I guess I might end up liking them. Who knows xD
Sounds like everything turned out great in the end xD
(Sorry I'm being a bit short and probably also very confused in my answers, but new roomie is watching a Danish impro acting program and I'm laughing my ass off (- Putin would get cancer if he watched this and realized how we can't keep gay references out of at least just one program. They keep getting gay with each other xD))
