I'm way too niche.
3 weeks ago
I feel like my likings are often times too niche, even for the groups that would be interested in weirder stuff. Even though I'm not into anything illegal, I just don't dare to share many of the artworks I commissied, since I get the feeling people might get disturbed by them. I'd love to interact with people through them, but am not sure what to do. I'm way too specific, and am in an awkward middle ground where I believe I'm too wild for tamer groups of people, but am also too tame for wilder groups of people within the same or at least similar interests.
I don't want to be in the latter group, cuz some do freak me out, but at the same time I'm the one who freaks others out aswell in the prior group.

I was hesitant at first to share the weirder stuff on my own page for a time, I guess I was still ashamed of it to some degree, but eventually I just stopped caring about whether people would be grossed out by it.
Now that tag blocking exists, I can post everything I want to, and if people don't like it they can blacklist those tags or unfollow me.
I'm sure I've lost a few people along the way in terms of followers and friends who aren't into the stuff I am now, but at the same time I've gained new followers and new friends who do! So I wouldn't be too afraid to post what you want. People come, people go, but you evolve and so does your interests and if people don't like it, they can fuck off! :3
It is a very delicate balance where I wish I could be myself without feeling awkward about it, but also not wanting to fall onto the other side of the horse with extreme stuff even I don't like.
