Disturbed or no?

0

So whenever I draw or write, it is usually often depressing or sad things. I’ll draw dead people with half of their faces withered away, crying, or something with blood spurting out from their insides. Or I will write short stories usually in the horror genre and stories about ghosts and such. Some people think I’m “disturbed” for that, although I am not depressed. My dad died last year, he was an alcoholic. Maybe that had something to do with it, I am not so sure. My whole life, although I am usually happy, I have always had a clinging melancholy feeling. I just wonder if I am actually disturbed for writing and drawing such horrific and depressing things?

No. I don't think so. I am a genuinely happy person, I've had nothing really too significant to dwell on happen to me. I mean, I've been bullied, but that's the extent of it. I draw disturbing things, too. But I think they can be a dark kind of beautiful, and that's what attracts those sort of images to me. That's all there is to it.

I think it's just a matter of opinion.Even the happiest of people can have a dark side. If these themes are what help you express yourself then why not? Just be sure to be sensitive about what others might feel. You can't expect them to understand you right away.

I think you should just keep doing what you're doing, whether or not people label you as disturbed. It's just something you like to do.

Art comes in all forms, how it is viewed is up to each person. I would say that you are disturbed, I normally draw people with either masks or a sad expression. Though I also draw people with happy expression and filled with joy, and I also draw bloody and rainbow filled depending how I feel from time to time.I also have a keen interest in blood and such, though not a un-healthy interest.
