Don't EVER give up. That's not going to make anything better. Take it from me; I nearly gave up several times, but I asked for help when I needed it. What you're feeling right now is merely perspective; nothing is ever unsolvable. In fact, you can talk to me if you'd like. I don't judge people unfairly or at all. I'm open to listen to someone else's thoughts and opinions, so don't just give up; Get everything off your chest and let it out. I'm sure there's other people out there who would be willing to listen. You have to keep going till you pass the ups and downs of life. I'll listen to whatever you need or want to say. Take your time. *Hugs*

Also, I originally would bottle up my emotions in the following years after me and my brother went to live with our grandparents. Back then, I was still dealing with some leftover anger, hurt, sadness and fear which resulted from how my brother and I had been treated by our mom and her boyfriends. Take care.

Hey- Tomek it's okay. don't let you anxiety bog you down and cause you close up. it's a-okay and you aren't annoying or dumb. be kind to yourself okay? you matter a lot and no matter what you're awesome.

and if you ever just want to chat or vent about stuff I'm here to listen. My dms are always open and I care about you my dude.

Hey Tomek, I think you're a cool dude and would like to be your friend :3 I know I'm bad at reaching out but you can always feel free to talk to me. I'm happy to listen and chat whenever.

**Hugs** I know that down feeling talk. I hope you feel better. You always seem like a good person to me.

I feel the same way. It's so discouraging. If you'd like a new friend, I can promise I'll accept you as you are. Message anytime *offers hugs*

It's good that you're venting and getting that negative energy out even if just a little. Don't completely stop trying to have relationships though. Take a break if you need to. Long as you need but don't let yourself believe that it's impossible for you to fit in with anyone out there.
I used to hate myself for being born different. I thought somehow I deserved the hate I received from so many people around me. I didn't start loving myself until just a few years ago. I realized that everyone is just scared and some people take their negative energy and direct it towards others because they haven't learned out to vent it out properly yet.
I'm not going to pretend I know you personally but I know what it feels like to feel like any interaction I have with others is just a burden to them and what it's like to feel like I'm not supposed to be part of this life.
It's healthy to feel sad and get your bad energy out. It's not healthy to bottle it up. I've tried and eventually the glass cracks and I end up hurting somebody because I tried to bottle it up instead of let my negative energy out slowly over time in a more healthy manner.
Take as long a break as you need to. Once you're ready we will be here to support you again.

Bro don't feel down it's hard making new friends if u need someone to talk to hit me up I won't judge.

Don't know what's going on in your life, but stop that bullshit. The community is a big place and sometimes we try to make friends with the wrong people. I know from personal experience. If someone doesn't want to be with you then are they a good candidate as a friend, no they are not.
All I can say is you can't give up. You have to keep looking, because someone out there is in the same boat as you thinking "where is my special friend." And they need you. Keep searching. It's a confusing world out there but as Ling as you chase your dreams and drive forward you'll always find a path in front of you.

^ this so much. Renegade has really nailed this better than I could say it. Don't give up and keep looking.

I've never been good at giving "soft" worded advice. I just hope Tomek takes something from what everyone is saying here for them. Thank you.

Ugh I just noticed the typo that autocorrect did for your name. Sorry Runefang I shoulda caught that.

Relax. Be friendly, be yourself. The only person whose actions and words you can control is you. Work hard at always being kind in word and thought, and when someone takes something the wrong way, the fact that you meant no harm will be a comfort. You are not a bad person--make sure you don't forget that.

Hey Tomek. I'm really sorry you're feeling down. If you'd be interested, I could DM you my Discord name. I've honestly looked up to you for a long time as one of my favourite tf artists, and I would very much love to lift your spirits in any way I can.

For now, to echo what NervousNessie said, closing down your emotions is the worst thing you can do. Emotions are what make life worth living, and being honest with them is the only real way to make meaningful friendships. If other people are willing to ditch you over that, then that's their problem.

But it's also true that sometimes you do just need to take some time to yourself, reflect on what matters, take stock of your life. Even friendly social interaction can wear you down. It's okay to take a break. But don't let depression or anxiety fool you into thinking you're unwanted -- there are many of us out here who love and support you.

I struggle with this too. I've been busy or I would have reached out more recently. You have Discord, right? Can you note me your Discord so we can chat?

You're not alone. I get hit with these feelings quite often, too. Please don't blame yourself. It sounds like you just care a lot about people, and, in my experience, not everyone shares that depth of feeling. Just have to keep looking for those kindred spirits. People with the same passions, hobbies, and dreams. If you have Telegram, you could try to look for some groups based on things you enjoy. I know you do a lot of transformation artwork, and there are several group chats that revolve around that topic, full of a lot of really good people. You could always start there and find some similar souls to chat with more one-on-one. And if you ever want to talk with me, I'm definitely available. You can either shoot me at DM or hit me up on Telegram. I have a link on my FA page. Personally, I love TF and many things mystical, including dragons. So feel free to poke me if you'd like. ^_^

Don't ever give up Tomek. You've been doing really well. Even if some jokes fall flat, it's mostly because as you said to me, English isn't your first language. You still make it clear that you don't mean any harm, and are an incredibly kind person. Don't give up or close off your emotions. It's not worth hurting yourself like that.

I feel you here, I understand how hard it might be sometimes to make friends. Coming from a person who would be happy sitting alone for days on end.

I have something which might help a little bit, or at least entertain you for a few minutes. The event that their talking about at the end of the video is over though.

I'd be willing to listen to you and try and be a friend if you need, I'd just need to figure out time since we live in different countries, but I'd be fine opening a discord Voice chat or something and you can just talk or vent or do whatever if it made you feel better.

You'll always be a part of my trusted friends, no matter what you say or do

oh dude luck no one i perfect att everyfing you will faind som one dont lose your hope
and hi i can be a friand if you need it np X)

Tomek please dont give up. There are many people who want to be friends with you talk with you and even commission you. I mean i follow you and i know ive rarely commented on your stuff. But i love your art and you seem like a cool person. Stay upbeat and you can meet people unexpectedly who want to be friends

From the few times we've interacted, you honestly seem really nice. Sure you're a bit awkward, but so am I.

Don't give up, you'll find people who enjoy your company eventually I'm sure.

I can understand how you feel but you shouldn't give up on having feelings/relationships towards people. It can suck with having those kinds of thoughts but I'm sure they still care about you if something might happen, even if not being invited to some things. I think closing yourself off from others would do you more harm than good because that kind of feeling would bottle up in the wrong kinds of head spaces.

znam to ja sam man takie problemy jak ty nazwy nie podaję tej "przypadłości" . też mam problem że za dużo gadam jak ktoś mnie wnerwi i często mówię komuś bardzo niemiłego słowa i nad tym nie panuję

don't ever douth yourself i think you are such a good person and i care about you alot even tho we don't talk to each other too much <3

my jokes are not understood either at times and sometimes artists block me here on FA because they take it personally...

I'm not the most sociable person so I don't talk often.

Sometime I just have a hard time finding something to say that is relatable.

Or what I had planned on saying has been said by other(s) in one form or another so I just say nothing as not to repeat.

I for one have nothing against you nor have I heard anything bad about you.

*Hug*

Don't stop trying to be friendly - it's the internet, communication is more difficult, and I wouldn't worry about annoying people because on the internet people already get angrier more easily and are ruder than in RL - perhaps you might need to actively ask if you want to get in a group picture, but I would say a majority of people don't end up getting group pics, so don't think that it means you're being ostracised if you don't happen to get any - just remember to try and make sure you don't get hyper focused on online communities like this, and try and maintain offline friendships and get involved in offline communities

I’m sorry to hear that. I-a lot of people-we can all relate when it comes to relationships and friendships. I often think it’s just better if I work alone or don’t even try to socialize. But that’s the easy way out. At least you’re trying. Please, give it another chance, if only a tiny bit of a chance. Listen to what others have to say and don’t give up.

You're so wrong> I will always invite you to stuff when I can. Don't put yourself down!

I always fail at jokes too and no one likes me but i don't care and just do what i love and never look at the bad things.

Nie poddawaj się, jestem pewien że jesteś super gościu. Szczerze wiem co czujesz, obawa przed zrobieniem albo powiedzeniem czegoś złego. Nie bój się, każdemu zdarza się coś wymsknąć, inni to zrozumieją

i never knew you feeled like that, i followed your art for years, im sorry, if you wish to speak i can give your my discord username

I can understand that, I’m really bad at relationships as well.
I know we haven’t spoken much, but you haven’t offended me in any way, and I don’t mind you sending me dms about stuff ^^

You'll always my brother.

I'm pretty bad at relationships so i can understand why you feeling discouraged.
It's pretty hard to find some good friends that stay by your side.
Even more so, if you are easily misunderstood or bad at socializing like me.
But you shouldn't give up, somewhere there will always be people that will understand you and like having your company.
You only need to keep looking until you find them!

Hey, your a cool dude and don't give up. I've been through hard stuff along with my girlfriend. I did lose four of my real friends and my best friend from a ban and a blocking incident in past. Of course, I made new friends. Two in real life, and a couple of others online.
