Description
Creating vent art that fixates on the thing making you upset isn’t healthy and will continue to keep you in that negative mindset after you make it. Instead use that creative energy to create something that makes you happy or proud so you aren’t fixating on that negativity. Its not good for you and it wont help you to make something that is purely your hate and pain and a lot of times you end up romanticizing your own misery by creating a platform for it to flourish!!Related content

pretty much all my vents are very general?? and i use bright colours and have fun with it uwu i totally agree that vent art focused on the thing that makes you sad is just counter-productive, so i make sure to stay positive!! ^^
heres some 'vents' of mine, they're general and tend to have nothing in common with why im sad x'D i do something fun and different to distract myself from the sadness tbh uwu

i try to make them experimental and just-- not sad?? there's sad feelings beneath them but overall i stay away?? y'kno? i wish more people did positive things with their creative energy instead of regular vents-- it really helps get the negativity out in a way that changes how you feel!! you don't wanna look at the art and hate it, you wanna accept the sadness you felt at the time but enjoy the art separately! qwq oof-- im just rambling-- xD

Exactly! And I’m not here to tell people they cant vent or make whatever art they want. I want people to know there are more ways to deal with their pain and healthier ways to express it. If you know yourself well enough to know what makes you feel better and what doesn’t do whatever you want! But I have a lot of young followers who think that the only way to show they are in pain or to vent is to make very negative and hurtful art of themselves. Saying things like they art stupid, ugly, or should die. Thats what I’m here for

100% agree ivenever drawn anything actively negative as a vent, it keeps you in the negativity uwu im glad im not the only one who thinks theres a more positive way x'D (also some things that could be labelled as vents cos i was sad at the time just fit in with my normal art cos i push the sadness away while using the energy i got from it to do the art x'D it channels the negativity in a positive way :'3c)

Finally someone said it--
I get tired seeing venting art,, nothing wrong with a vent or two, but on a art piece? You don't need to 'put it on social media.' Just do it and delete it- if it makes you feel better that way, but even so, you shouldn't put it in an art piece, art is for 'creativity' and expressing something, depression isn't really something to 'express' since it means you're just suicidal or in a dark hole, which isn't very fun or pleasing to look at.
Some of these young artist (and some older, but mostly around the '12-15' gap.) Post a LOT of venting art, which cause them to feed off attention, which can turn into an 'attention seeker' and always needy for attention. It could be just about something, and once they get a whole fanbase loving them and treating them like royal, it can make them feel good about having personal or depression because in return, they get 'love' and 'attention.'
It's not a good thing to do, in either one of those paths it just makes the worst things come from it.

yEAH! venting is super healthy, for me when i vent i get all my bad feelings OUT of my system instead of making myself feel worse for it.
its honestly a genius cope for people who draw as a hobby

If nobody makes vent art, then they can't get out their emotions, and if they can't get out their emotions, they might as well bottle it up until they go insane.

I mean, there are other ways to vent other than spending hours on an art piece, right? So I disagree. You have other outlets you can choose from. So if nobody made vent art, it likely wouldn't be as crazy as you're making it out to be.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Um. Okay. I'm not making it as crazy as I'm making it out to be, I'm just saying people have the right to make vent art and express how they feel rather than keeping it bottled up inside. And sure, sometimes it can take a toll, but so what? At least it's better than nothing.

You make it sound as if no one ever makes it, they can't get out their emotions when that's just not true. That is bullshit. The narrative isn't that people shouldn't make it, but that it probably isn't healthy to spend so much time on something negative and often times violent or gory. And really, based on your replies to sadpartyboy, you don't even sound like you've convinced yourself that you have a good argument. It's just an anecdote. You're taking your personal experience to create an argument that just doesn't work. As I said, there are so many ways to vent and get your emotions out in a healthy way. So no, if nobody makes vent art, people will still have other outlets for their feelings. Try again.

Y'know, I really don't have to take the time to make an argument, and as a matter of fact, if I knew you guys were just gonna jump on board and create an argument like this, then really, commenting was a bitter mistake on my part.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's pretty ironic on your part but okay. You're welcome to your opinion, but don't push this standard. If it helps you then it helps you. No one was denying that. But your argument is completely flawed and it just doesn't seem like you like to be challenged on that DESPITE COMING HERE AND DOING THE SAME THING. Don't throw stones at a glass house.

Again. This is just proving my point.

What point? You haven't made any good points yet. You're backtracking.

Yeah, that's what I thought. It sounds like you have a lot of growing up and maturing to do.

I’m not saying dont make vent art I’m saying make vent art that is a healthy way to get out you emotions and not art that just amplifies the negative emotions your feeling. If you spend 2 hours making a piece of vent art that is of you self harming or in pain thats 2 more hours of your life focusing JUST on that idea and feeling when you could decide to instead draw something that makes you happy to truly release the need to self harm or feel upset. Thats what I’m getting at

Even so, I don't even think that there's a way to make "positive" vent art, when there are much more excessive way of going about it since it's you expressing how you feel in the goriest way possible. I'm not saying self-harm vent art is okay by any means, but, really, it just can't be helped.

It can though, You literally just choose to not make art that makes you upset. You can make gore art and you can draw whatever you want but it doesn't make it healthy or smart to do. it is negative and its not helpful. If it was people wouldn't constantly be drawing it. Trying to tell people that they can only make dark negative art when they need to vent is not helpful, we should be encouraging positive ways to handle stress, pain, and trauma and not perpetuating the idea that pain can only be handled through more pain and negativity. I thought it was the way to deal with my pain because everyone else did it but It just made me a negative and sad person. Choosing to take my pain and make it into a positive piece has helped me do better and that it what I want to spread to my audience because a lot of them are in a bad place.

That's just you. Not everybody is as optimistic as you. Negative vent art helped me feel better about myself, or worse, depending on the situation. Point being both of goof for their own purposes, just turns out that the nagetive is more..I guess..approachable than the positive?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes and I will continue to spread positivity because that is what the people following me deserve. I'm not gonna sit around and tell people its good to make themselves miserable when there are many ways to handle things. I'm sorry that it bothers you that I'm suggesting a positive solution to fixable problem. You can be angry and miserable and make your vent art if you want to. But there are many ways to deal with your pain in a better way and I want to share that. So please do what you want, but I'm tired of young teens thinking that the only way to deal with their pain is to create more. If I can stop people from going down the path I have I will and thats that.

I'm not angry that you're trying to spread positivity, but I just don't think being too goody-two-shoes about everything will necessary fix the glaring issues people are still facing today. And if you're implying that I'm one of those teens, then I guess you'd be right to assume so since I sometimes really like to attach myself to the negative since it's what I'm used to and have lived for years now.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was literally one of those kids and its not good-two-shoes to want to be happy. The internet is always trying to convince people you only have problems if your always miserable and I'm telling people that you dont have to be. I'm not saying being positive will make all your problems disappear but always being negative is gonna make life twice as hard. I have had a horrible miserable life and being positive is the only thing that has kept me alive. Choosing to try and help yourself is a far better life to lead than choosing to bask in misery. I think being open to see the world in a better light will get you so much further than sticking yourself down in you pain and deciding to stay there
