There have been many furries I have spoken to over the years whom have centered their entire existences on themselves.

I don't remember the last person I have talked to that has actually asked me any questions about how I am doing or what I have been doing; and taking an interest- or at least try to fake interest in what I have to say. There are many people who just will ignore me because I haven't asked the 100th question about them, when they could ask me things once in a while. Many have explained their entire living situations, families and even beliefs with me; but many of the same people have never asked me any of the same things or just pushed it aside for another subject when I try to.

Also the people who had previously, constantly asked for free requests, and I thought that by putting hours of effort in to something and spending time from your day to enrich someone else's was a way to earn their respect and friendship- but it is one "thanks" and then they usually disappear.

And people wonder why artists don't like doing requests.
