Creative people delight and inspire, annoy and drive to insanity with their actions. And not because they deliberately want to cheat you, but simply because they are so complicated. Very often they are credited with various diagnoses based on the classification of personality disorders.

Creative people have their own organization of the world:

Sometimes they can adapt to almost any situation and use all the resources at hand to achieve their goals, and sometimes they feel completely helpless in the most ordinary places, for example, when applying for a tax or visa.

If you are a creative person, then you know how it is to be torn apart by internal contradictions, as if many personalities live inside you. Yes, within the creative coexist features of thinking and behavior, which for most people are divided among themselves. In some situations you are an introvert, and in others an extrovert, then you are lazy, then a workaholic, then a dreamer, then a pragmatist and realist, then a rebel, then a conservative. And sometimes you feel the presence of all these subpersonalities at the same time.

The psychological atmosphere of the environment and mood can have an unpredictable effect on the quality of your work and life in general. Like the waves of the ocean - it is not known what they will wash ashore in a minute.

It is useless to ask a creative person about his plans, especially the distant ones. Because tomorrow these plans may change dramatically. And believe me, these changes, the creative person will be surprised, perhaps even more than the one who is next to him.

But the most important distinguishing feature is the ability to enjoy creativity for the sake of creativity itself. And these are the happiest moments for the creator, because in such moments he lives 100%. Sometimes it seems crazy for a person who loves stability and comfort.

Yes, pay attention to the factors that harm the creative process:

• creative people are characterized by energy bursts, during which they can work tens of hours in a row, but then a phase of exhaustion and loss of strength follows;
• excessive problems drain them and make them helpless;
• weak willpower, lack of discipline and love of idle pastime;
• it is difficult for creative people to concentrate on something important, they often shed energy, even before starting a business;
• it is difficult for them to set goals and move with persistence towards them;
• it is difficult to make a choice, sometimes even in the simplest things …

and, knowing all this, the creative will continue to be exhausted, lazy, workaholic, violate discipline, rush between desires:)

In general, it's not easy to be creative. And it's difficult for people who live nearby, but it's very interesting.
