Do I seem approachable?

General
I feel like a lot of artists (Not all, maybe not even most but a lot) start falling out with their watchers once they start getting busy/popular/too big for their britches. I don't feel like I've accomplished any sort of popularity and would rather like to avoid it if I can but my main concern is staying connected and at least trying to SEEM approachable. I don't bite and RARELY pop off at people when any situation can be easily solved or handled in a professional manor but I still feel like I come off as detached sometimes and this may be due to not being able to respond to every single comment (Though I do try!)
What do you think? Do I seem approachable? Friendly? What do other artists/ People in general do that makes them seem detached from their watchers or make them seem less approachable? I'd love to know!
FA+

I typically don't use social networks, including FA, to keep up with folks. Usually it's direct contact. I tend to have to approach folks, more than someone contacts me.
a recent friend thought i was really mean just from what i said online but when she actually met me we are really good friends and that im not what i seem like online.
I think this is why I dont get to personal with my watchers and try to make a friendship. its hard to remember everyone and keep in contact while also trying to deal with commissioners.
I do wish I was closer to my commissioners so they would "like me" I just think people dislike me maybe because the things i say back are short or i dont use any smileys so i seem angry or rude. its not at al what i mean its just I have a lot of things on my plate I have to do.
unless you have the time to reply to every comment then do it :D me I cant I dont usually have the patience and i have a lot of projects to finish up.
on it.
For me I feel I'm probably least approachable. I don't try to make friends anymore because most furries are A. Batshit
insane or B. try to buddy buddy me for free art. I know this has caused me to be distant for quite some time now and after
my ordeal with Lauren and a few other "friends" I'm kinda just burnt out.
