>>125881211>the only real requirement for working at cartoon Network and various other big studios is nepotism and having the permissible opinionsSounds like a coping mechanism. It's easier to identify a myriad of arbitrary obstacles and point to them as reasons why success is impossible than to actually try and possibly succeed/fail.
Fear of success and fear of failure are closely related because either you get the gig and now have to live up to expectations/defend your work against a world of critics, or admit that you don't have what it takes.
For some people, not trying is a way to preserve the illusion that they are very good at what they do. It's easy to convince yourself you are the best when you never have to prove it.
There's nothing I can say that will force you to make an honest and sober assessment of your skills, but if you manage to confront the fact that your failure is not the doing of some 3rd party boogeyman, you will exponentially increase your growth potential.
Any good artist doesn't tell people they're a good artist. Other people tell THEM they're good while they struggle with feeling like a huge imposter.
