Now yes, let's see these 16 identifying traits of creative people:
1) They have a mind that never slows down
Your mind works at a very different speed. They are capable of reasoning even in situations of maximum stress. For them the world is like a puzzle where all the pieces can fit together. What's more, they have fun while they're doing it.
2) They challenge the "status quo"
Two questions are usually asked in different situations: What if? and why not? They are capable of questioning the operation of anything. This may not be the most common in the people around you, but for creatives it helps them redefine what is possible.
3) They stay true to who they are
They have strong principles and remain faithful to them at all times.
4) They have trouble concentrating
Creative people need relaxation and stimulation techniques in order to concentrate. Inspiration comes… but they don't decide when it's going to be.
5) Your creative period is usually cyclical
There are phases where they create in a very short time and then periods of inactivity that can be somewhat exasperating. They create only when inspiration strikes, and this only happens at key moments.
6) They need time to feed their souls
The soul is as if it were a part of the body that needs its own sustenance. They need a stimulation and their own fuel to function.
7) They need space to create
They have to have their own workplace and it has to be clear. In this way, ideas will begin to emerge.
8) They are intensely concentrated
The moment inspiration strikes, there is nothing that can lower your concentration. Now that they have seen it clearly, they want to work non-stop.
9) They feel emotions in a much deeper way
They have the most enhanced senses and are capable of feeling everything in a much more special way.
10) They express themselves through stories
The way they communicate is through stories or experiences they have lived.
11) They have an internal struggle on a daily basis
Every day they fight against despair and the desire to leave everything. It is hard until inspiration returns and then illusion takes over again.
12) They take their work as something very personal
They dedicate a lot of passion to their work to achieve the best results.
13) They find it hard to believe in themselves
One of the great flaws they have is a lack of confidence. They think that they are not capable of doing things although they actively demonstrate that they can.
14) They are very intuitive
They have a sixth sense that allows them to make the best decisions and get them right.
15) They are addicted to creating
It is as if art is a drug and they will need a dose continuously.

They go through many phases and don't always finish what they start. Yet they struggle to get it.
