I HATE the feeling of trying to force myself to adapt and be a graphic designer because I AM NOT! And I HATE that Im doing this out of necessity. And now suddenly Im transferred to a team where projects will mostly be layout/design heavy (thought I was hired for my illus skills)

I have nothing against graphic design. I actually really like it. BUT I don't like to force myself every single day to do graphic design as a living because it's not my forte/specialty. I prefer to explore it in my own time. IDK I just hate work right now.

I also HATE the fact that just because Im an artist I should adapt to be a graphic designer, too. YES I know it is very useful, but I just feel constantly out of place. I am an illustrator primarily. It's totally a different skillset. I feel so trapped ughhhhhh

Sorry don't mind me, I just need to let this out. LIKE I really adore graphic design but the way I think doesn't really fit it and having to do it EVERY SINGLE (work)DAY is so tiring and draining but I just can't quit because of everything going on!

I noticed every single tweet in this thread is trying to say the same thing BUT YES I hate my work right now. I JUST WANT TO QUIT THIS JOB AND THEN CREATE AND DRAW WHATEVER I WANT AND SELL IT OR WHATEVER BUT I KNOW IT'S NOT EASY AND IT'S SO FRUSTRATING I WANT TO SHOUT AND FIGHT!!

but also I ALREADY KNEW when I applied that this is going to be graphic design heavy so I also hate myself for applying and then hating this. LIKE BITCH YOU KNEW ALL ALONG!?!? but also I needed income but I did not expect it to be this demanding and draining
