🧵 1/7 Art is a personal journey, not a public competition For a long time, I’ve been observing and listening to artists, especially in online communities. One common theme that keeps coming up is comparison. Artists often ask, "Why is someone who came after me ranked higher?" or "Why is my rank lower despite the quality of my art?" But here’s the truth: Art is a deeply personal journey. The only person you need to compete with is yourself. Every artist's path is unique, and you are solely responsible for your progress. Constant comparison and the quest for validation not only detract from the essence of being an artist but, if dwelled upon, can also pull you away from your creative core.

🧵 2/7 Healthy competition is about self-improvement, not comparing with others Some might question why rankings or competitive structures exist. These systems aren’t designed to limit anyone but to create a framework that helps you better understand your own abilities. Without a way to evaluate and reflect, it’s difficult to truly recognize your strengths and weaknesses. Instead of being frustrated by someone else's position, think about how healthy competition can push you to uncover your hidden talents.

I wouldn't call it a competition, because that word has such negative connotations. I would like to use the word "co-creation". As you said, by being able to compare your art with others, you learn about your blind spots, which ultimately leads to an improvement in your own art. So the person who is higher than you on the ranking list has indirectly co-created your own art with you. The same goes for the inspiration you get from a YT video or movie you watch - in the end, the creations of others have co-created your own art. It's about shifting your perspective in a more nourishing and healthy direction, then the dark clouds disappear and what remains is the blue sky.
