Ah, I see your problem. You think the point of creating art is external validation of your creation.
Haha, no.
The point of art is you created some art. Expressed something in a way unique to you. If you did that, your art is a success, even if no one likes it.
Even if you don't.
Don't worry, it won't be that long before you make something *you* appreciate, and maybe not even as long as that before you make something someone else appreciates.
I find it kind of funny and more than kind of sad how many self identified "non creatives/non artists" simply refuse to hear this no matter how many artists/creatives tell them the same thing over and over again.
Friends, we've been at this a long time. We DO know the struggle. Very, very well.
Look, if you convince yourself that you can't do art, you are probably right. But the only thing that is stopping you is your own conviction that there's no point in trying.

Many (all?) "non-creatives" are creating stuff all the time. They (we) just don't think of it as "doing art".
You're adding trills or new harmony as you sing in the shower? You figured out how to plate your pasta in that cool swirly way, with a bright red tomato in the center? You draw your boss saying "poop" during a Zoom meeting? You reorganize your Excel sheets to be more balanced and visually pleasing?
You're being creative.
