Happy Easter and.....

General
And now a word from The-B-Meister.....
First things first...I want to wish you all a Happy Easter and that you enjoy your day and weekend.
I am still away at the moment and will be back home tomorrow evening.
With that said, the rest of this is a follow up from my last journal. So I have thought it through hard of my decision on whether or not I would stay here on FA or not. I have decided that I will be staying here. There are a few folks that might be here but not on DA that actually care about me at least and to just pick up and leave them behind kinda makes me feel bad and I'm sure they'd feel the same.
Most of you were probably asking...."why bring this up in the first place?". Well, I'd like to think of FA...and Deviantart as not only an art site but also a place to socialize as well. I like meeting new people and getting to know them but it seems some people are rather....reluctant to engage in conversation at times (this applies on skype as well). Communication is a two-way street....not one and it seems like people tend to brush me off like I'm a nobody...unless I offer or draw something for someone THEN all of sudden I'm the most important person In their life. Then it feels like I'm only being taken advantage of.
For example, if someone were to ask for a request...I accept...then that person talks to me none stop....then when everything is said and done....that person just disappears ...never to be heard from again ...as much as I try to talk they have little to say....until another opportunity to draw for them again appears.
That right there is what really grinds my gears about people sometime....it puts me in a terrible mood and gives me these doubts about most people....including the ones I consider friends and those who inspire me.
It really takes the joy out of drawing too honestly. It depresses me at times. It's like I take my precious limits time to do something for you and this is how you repay me? Well shit.... :/
With that said, I'm very sorry for this rant but it's something I just had to get out.
I hope you guys understand how I feel
Thanks

Im glad you're considering to stay, even if you dont post anything here, it is helpful to stay in contact with people who may not use the other site. Probably the main reason why my da account is still open in the first place.
I hope it doesnt happen too often anymore now that you've ranted about it, and hipe it helped getting it out of your system. :3
But I do post stuff here. More or less the same stuff over on DA in addition to more mature/adult content on this side.
I hope so too.
and same for me and da. I do post about the same stuff here and there, only less and a few days later there
So your rant is totally justified.
Thank you for understanding Rhexxy
well I can relate to that a lot. perople only are keen on you if you hold something they want.
most are like that
I also have people I did requests for and they never even reply to those.
Wow that sucks :/ I've had one or two people do the same to me as well *sigh*
Thank you for understanding bud
My advice? well go find out who's really appreciative then latch on to those few. That's generally all you need.
Happy Easter to you
Well your reasons are fully understandable especially about the thing that people just disappear after getting a request. I think some people are just looking for something like that and it's really sad.
Maybe you should stop doing request if that gives you problems like that because it is way more important that you do feel great.
Another thing could be maybe you catch a lot of shy people, I don't know :-/
I already had the case that there was some people only contacted me if they wanted to RP and if I refused like most of the time they suddemly don't had any time for just to talk about things what is really strange.
But well I am myself a person as well who don't have much to say most of the time and that's something I really don't like about myself.
I just hope things will get better for you and I am glad to hear you will stay c:
Well "B", I'll always support you in whatever you do
And I'm always happy when you talk to me
You are one of the less people who I can talk to... I mean, a real conversation... you know... beyond Hello and How are you xDDD
And a belated Happy Easter to you too~
