RE: An Artist's Poor Sadness

I absolutely do have imposter syndrome.
Shame in my view is the opposite of pride. I'm not proud to carry the frame down the street, to stand alongside the work to "strangers" (on the street) and say, I made this, whaddya think?
Because the level of academic mud I've put myself in to give it context and meaning may not be as elegantly executed by the finished piece. The meaning not distilled enough.

Well it doesn't sound like you're saying anything and in the eyes of a stranger you're equally likely to be some guy that bought that piece of art and is taking it home as the guy who made the piece of art and taking it to an exhibition or back from the framer's XD
Interesting flip. Would I be comfortable carrying it home, if I was the purchaser? ... Probably not! Buy would I be happy to show people that I invite into my home the work? Absolutely yes.
So conflicted.
Maybe it's just because carrying a decent sized frame down the road is an unusual thing, would you feel that uncomfortable if you were carrying your average bag of shopping or if the frame was small enough to fit in your backpack? Would it be the same type and level of discomfort if you were carrying a new flatpack piece of furniture? :D
I think I'm similar, if you're silly enough to ask me questions about my project in a very casual setting and conversation I'll talk your ear off forever if I have a starting point but I think I would freeze up and die in an exhibition setting with random strangers asking me stuff x_x
