This is actually pretty genius, are there any downsides?

I haven’t given mine a name… the strangest part is it used to help out.

I don't know if I would say downsides but for me it just didn't work at all. I imagine it works well for loads of people but all it did for me was make me look for more scientific reasons to hate myself. Hence saying that Maurice could cite sources.

Instead of "your art is bad" I would be thinking of every little detail I was doing wrong individually as well as convincing myself that I will never be able to shake those issues. Other stuff did end up helping but that specifically wasn't for me.

Sorry to hear, but an interesting thought experiment. At my age, there’s no reason not to give it a shot. I’ll name him, Gwen. 😂👍

I'm gonna give it a burl, I need to fight it somehow.
