I'm wondering about traits that creative people have?

[Wingstofly]

I know that if one of my parents is Rh Negative it doesn't necessarily mean I am Rh negative but I'm just mentioning that it's in my lineage on my mother's side. Children inherit traits from their mother too.

I'm not sure if it's rh negative or positive ( as this is the first time hearing it. ) but I've come across people that tells me I'm creative and intelligent.

I'm good at imagining things in my head and creating a story of mine which I favor fantasies and manservant. I'm also good at making pastries, bread and dessert as this is my profession career as well as doing illustration in my computer.

Nice to meet you anyway.

I think it’s also how you were raised.

Ye I think your circumstances growing up is probably one of the bigger factors; not just positive reinforcement (supportive parents, teachers etc) but also just absence of other things taking up your time like family/financial obligations, academic struggles or friends (lmao) I think the biggest reason I learnt to draw was basically because I had nothing better to do XD

I actually believe all people are creative. Is this... an unpopular opinion? They are just creative in completely different ways (not necessarily being into writing or drawing), and sometimes they don't develop their creative spark?

Yeah basically, hence why I think opportunity to develop creativity is most strongly correlated with creativity I don't think it's an unpopular opinion when we think about it, but I think a lot of us are psychologically attracted to the idea that there are 'special' creative people and then everyone else who are basic normies :'D (Or maybe it's just me XD though the 'lone creative genius' trope being a thing makes me suspect most people are drawn to it XD)

I think you're right. Everyone is the creative type, there is just a lot of stigma attached to the word. People want to be "special" for their art so they put distance between themselves and others. I'm a huge fan of STEAM education because art is the catalyst for a lot of scientific discovery and therefore creations.

I think being creative is communication and expression, a lot of artists are loners for different
reasons. I never thought of myself as anything special or different than other people except
that I grew up as a misfit which is nothing special and I also didn´t want that

Ehhh I don't think anyone really does this consciously; our brains are drawn towards wanting to feel special but we're kind of embarrassed to admit it, and deny (if) we think we're special because it feels elitist to say and think

I don't think we should be ashamed of merely having these feelings (that's just how human brains are wired); just be mindful not to let it carry into our actions (e.g. looking down on people who haven't achieved anything 'creative' and saying they just 'not cut out for it' instead of considering other reasons why they might not have the opportunity to do stuff other than 'lack of potential')

I think it's good to be aware of those feelings though, for those who do happen to have them. Otherwise it's easy to slip into elitist behaviour without even realising it :'D

I never thought of myself as anything special or different than other people

I have, and it's super embarrassing to admit lmao XD

But yeah, I do think artists and loners are correlated to some extent, but it's not because artists = special, loners = special therefore artists = loners. It's just that loners have a time advantage over social people for practicing solitary skills (like drawing), and for some reason solitary skills are overrepresented in the category of skills we consider 'creative'

[Wingstofly]

Nope! You're wrong I wouldn't be stuck in my room because I'd be a day walker if I were a vampire. (I Love The Sun)

[DiegoPalacios]

but vampires die in the sun!!!!!!!! ........unless you were one of those from Twilight that sparkle in the sunlight.........

[BlairFujin]

well, the beauty of vampires is that there's no fixed lore and every author can do whatever they please with them (if I remember correctly, sunlight doesn't kill dracula, just wakens him in stocker's novel)
