Lonewolf in the corner in this forest of struggling artis...
a year ago
I've been browsing through FA journal lately, and it seems like people don't discuss personal lives as much anymore. There's a vast ocean of artists offering commissions, which is fantastic.
But where has all the social interaction gone? I guess I'm just an old wolf having nostalgic moments about the days when people actually wrote on platforms like LiveJournal. Those were simpler times.
Nowadays, people don't write much anymore. Do they even know what a pen is? It feels like the internet is dominated by extroverts who prefer real-time voice interactions in live streams.
It's all a bit overwhelming for me. It's like the social anxiety of walking into a nightclub when I was younger, but even more complicated because English isn't my native language.
That's why I love expressing myself through drawing. It's so much easier. But drawing is slow, and AI has ruined everything.
"Everybody just yells and scream at each other. Nobody's civil anymore!"
I hope you all have a great week!

I think a lot of people just don't talk much on this site at all. I hardly get comments on art when before I'd get so many, even simple one-words. Now I just get likes/no interaction, it's...lonely.
I hope you managed to solve the problem.
FA is all work and no play. I made a few really good friends on FA, nowadays I barely make friends or clients. xD
But I see the writing on the wall and I'm becoming a VTuber! It's very hard.
I'm guilty of not making enough comments.
Your art is amazing btw!
Things aren't going back to the ways of olden times, so if you can't beat them, join them! Just expressing yourself through art is fine too, I do the same.
Drawing more is the only solution ! You too. Your art is very good. Keep drawing ! =D
And don't talk about social anxiety i have, but yes I need push myself to have such interactions only to feel like trash.
So i give up and write nothing anymore and you write why.
Have a nice week too~
I still have hope though. I made some really good friends here.
Also…I don’t want to waste other people’s time and attention by spamming them with comments… It’s not like I have anything worthwhile to say.
And who knows when someone suddenly feels trolled or harassed, burned or bullied.
Anyways…
You express yourself through drawing? Can you teach this language? I suppose I lack the left-brain hemisphere to grasp the meaning of pictures on my own.
Nobody cares in the end unless you are a popufur and draw sexy YCH porn, so why bother for write stuff here anymore? This place just become a marketplace since several years ago.
But to be fair, in 1994 I brought the myth that the furry community was "a welcoming group like a family", later I found the real furry motto "spend money in fursuits, conventions and art or get lost".
Yes, I am sorry for introduce myself like this, but well 30 years around made me too sarcastic.
