I don't find myself to be creative at all. I don't, maybe i was, when i was younger. I remember that i could very vividly daydream and because of that i could imagine what i wanted to draw. Also i remember that till i was 15 i use to write a diary, in which i wrote about what happened to me, my feelings, daydreams etc. When i turned 15 i couldn't handle how vivid my mental pictures could be, so i started to suppress them. The problem was that i didn't like to remember everything in so much detail. But that also put a stop to my inspiration for drawing. I stopped when i was 16. Last year i tried to get back to it, but it just reminded me how perfectionist and self-critical i would get with my drawings.Also i stopped writing my diary and the ones i had wrote, i burned them. That's all i can think of, that could be considered remotely creative.(Oh, and also i use to scrapbook and sew when i was really young. I use to have weird hobbies as a kid.)

Even if there were any creative outlets or service organizations at my university, i probably wouldn't join them, because i'm very self-critical. I guess i'm just too afraid of what other people will think about my art work.
And i don't know , if you did understand me. I wanted to explain that for the five to six sentences i say all day, i need about 10 hours spent on introspection (although i need more than that). It's making me absentminded and i have problems concentrating (although not as much since i started going to university).
Thanks for this!
