I've always wondered this myself.
But I felt very trapped when I was a teenager and the only way I could express myself was through art, music, fashion and writing.

It's still a working progress but I can control my emotions and impulses a LOT better now than I could back then, and I can definitely say that I am way less creative. Also, I guess the "creative" medium not my sole catharsis anymore?
