Please don't make this to me, I'M DONE WITH THIS.

Hello guys, I'm taking a break from my pending works to tell you something about a situation that has been afflicting me for a few days.
Lately I've received many notes from people who follow me from Deviantart, which I am infinitely grateful for and was one of the reasons why I decided to return. However, many of them have come back just to make false promises of "oooh yes I'll commission you someday, you can draw some WIP's for me now, right?" or "do you draw pictures for free?" and when I politely reply that I need the money and that I'm only taking commissions, they get offended and reply to me in a rude and manipulative way. There are already several cases and it's something that recently made me explode and I had to set limits. I even discovered that the people that claimed to be "my fans" such a long time ago were only using me for selfish purposes and that's something I can't tolerate.
Many times I've shared some of my problems with you, but the truth is that I don't do it trying to manipulate you all, but rather so that you know my situation, so that you can see my human side and why I disappear many times. So the fact that these people come to victimize themselves asking for free drawings when I'm living my own hell doesn't sit well with me. I'm having a hard time myself and the fact that they say "excuse me for being a worthless piece of shit" only makes me feel worse.
I am really sorry to have to go to these instances, but for my own health and peace of mind I'll block the next people who come with these types of messages. I'm always willing to answer DM's as quickly and kindly as I can, but I can't tolerate this toxic manipulation and empty promises that only hurt me more than I already am.
Sorry for the long text and I hope you have a great week <3 Thank you very much for reading this far.
