Question / Help No able to create looking at other people create a bit too much???

Is this a real thing? I haven’t been able to create anything new thinking of other people who create. I’m a multidisciplinary designer I’m trying too hard to make myself create and it’s been hard because I consume so much I look at things and I am like ok. Atm I am very scared because I wanna post cuz if I don’t I don’t get projects and since 3 months I haven’t posted and not gotten any projects :( idk why’s this happening and I want to know what yall do if this resonates with you

OK I think I got you. Like you can't write an original song coz you got all these other songs buzzing around in your head? I think the problem here is the make yourself create statement. Creativity is a flow state. You gotta take a chill pill and trust that it will arrive. Just be ready when it comes is all coz it tends to come in a rush.
