Re:Ask HN: How to turn off my desire to be seen? by gt_ on Saturday September 23, 2017 @02:06AM (#15318407)
Sincerely, thank you. I actually do this thing a lot, and one of these little ideas (usually artistic) can last from a day to about a week maybe. It is my own little idea that I will just appreciate and it stays good or it goes away. Maybe I start to judge it but the net yield is happiness in my own space. I like making art but have realized conceptualizing it or visualizing it gives me my own existence that I get to 'exclude others from' if I want to see it that way. I find this habit can often lead me to not make the actual art but I am in the process of realizing that is actually the beauty of it.

I also do this through art history, too. This has am interesting angle to it. I habitually look for unconventional interpretations of art history but any will do. I often find little pieces of art history that I relate to a lot, or have personal theories of. Maybe others would think similarly but I don't know that and it doesn't matter. These relations are between me and a bunch of dead people and the lineage of the human mind.
