I'm not convinced. Stuff seems significantly more weird when you spell it out, compared to the type normalcy bias we tend to have regarding our own experiences. "Regular" people don't spell it out though, they're mostly just living their life. The unusual thing about artists for that matter is their williningness to talk about it, or to be honest. Kind of. Or at least say things others would rather keept to themselves. Hence artists might seem more special than they actually are, I'd say. It's like stand-up comedy in a sense. There's a lot of funny people who don't become comedians, but they're not looking for that attention. So they're not getting it.
Attentionseekers are found everywhere and for sure there are many artists who don't jump into the spotlights or promote themselves or their creations. You need to be an extrovert to do that and of course have a lot of time (unless someone else does the job which I find a danger). Developers are creative but you rarely see them, more likely they are scolded and pushed aside by society till Bill Gates shows up to buy and take the credit and the gate is closed.
I wish I knew all those funny people not even a clow in the circus or hospital are funny (more scary) to say the truth? I doubt every artists does that and for sure the critics will find what didn't existed to promote the period the artist had to struggle through or how come the bestseller of 9 seasons of whatever drama is a success and the book isn't because the writer is a weirdo, typing in bed or between cooking and smoking a joint.
I'm not sure how to phrase it correctly. It's not that others don't seek attention but an artist is putting themselves out there, for whatever reason. Doesn't even mean they seek the attention, but the act of creation externalizes something so it can be touched, studied, and so on. If the world was ending tomorrow and all art but your vanished without a trace future generations would consider you incredibly unique even if you weren't unique at all. Hypothetically.
In terms of the stand-up thing what makes the comedian different from a guy telling jokes at the break room his him having a microphone and an audience. It's the context that makes him special, not necessarily his ability to be funny. Same goes for the suffering of artist I think. I don't think artists have worse necessarily, they just talk about it more, or into the right kind of microphone. That's real problem imo in terms of AI btw. and literature in general, because normally regular people don't write books. I'd argue that leads to the kind of bias that distorts our perception of reality.
Got a practical example. Near death experiences and weird experiences like that. It's not that weird actually. Lots of people have that, my dad included, but they usually don't talk about it. So you only hear from those who do.
