I'm stuck in conflict with myself. I need to promote my business, I need to have a social media presence, but I truly and honestly hate promoting myself. It gives me anxiety like I can't believe to sit down and try to type out a description about something I've made and share it to social media where people I know are able to see.
I can't stop thinking that they have to be sick of me sharing this stuff all the time and I feel so embarrassed.
If the business had the funds I think I would hire someone to manage social media for me because I don't know if I can do this any more. However, I know that avoiding it isn't healthy for me either. I have to stop being so narcissistic and obsessed with hating myself. God damn I really hate it though. Feeling like this makes me want to bury myself in the woods.
At some point you need to suck it up!

Seeing your posts and promotions are both thrilling and exciting.
Anyone who truly cares about you shouldn't be upset or get sick of seeing your work. Part of the fun should be showcasing what creations you make. Being enthusiastic as you share what new model or idea you come up with. I enjoy seeing everything people I care about make. It's like a preview of all of their hard work and years of dedication coming into fruitation for them. It's cause for celebration.

I'm loving watching you grow, develop your talent. And the artist in you has found its niche.
Promote all you want. We love seeing your work, and screw anyone who can't just click, scroll on. Not worth trying to please everyone. Just yourself.
Keep those big girl pants on, pull up those boots made for walking, and add a freaking crown.
