I really hate myself and that I was born and whatever. I'm sure a lot of other people feel the same on here, too. I want to be a graphic novelist and I feel like my stories are real bs and terrible all around.... I really hate myself

It seems that many creative people have difficulty thinking their work is good enough - and it does take practice to hone one's craft. Have you read The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron? She has a website that accompanies the book: The Artist?s Way | Julia Cameron Live

As an aside, I was introduced a while ago to a really good tool for graphic novel work, called Clip Studio Paint (formerly Manga Studio).

Hello PandaCutie: There was a time, years ago, when I wanted to write. I thought I had great story ideas! But I always loathed anything & everything I actually produced! Eventually, I just gave up. And at this point, I really just no longer care...

It has been said that genius is one part inspiration & nine parts perspiration. I think I had the one part... but lacked the other nine... Perhaps if you keep working, you will find success yet!

You won't know if your stories are good unless you write one down and share it out with a few people. I have a friend who wrote a book -- gave me a copy of the file -- and it's excellent, but he's never done a thing about getting it published. See what I mean? He's done the hard part but can't face rejection -- and while you hate yourself you might not be able to face your creativity with the right mindset to get stuff done and out there. Good luck and light to you.

Hello PandaCutie
Great News "you know Exactly what you want out of life (Graphic Novelist)". That is a good Start. Work on your Stories and let you audience (10 or more close friends) be the judge for your work and other Graphic Novelists as well. Then Rework your stories be fore you put them to the public. That how Movie stories and Books are prepared before Distribution (ever head of a Second Edition of a Book - you can always publish a 2nd or 3rd or 4th edition).

You can also start reading Self Esteem Books / listen to Self esteem audio books so you can learn how to love yourself and love your Stories. Don't worry about the stories you have right now , just work on them and improve your Stories later. The Most important thing is to get started and loving yourself...
