artwork and community thoughts

I'm going to be working on my Muffet drawing soon. I gotta just jump on it and finish that thing. It's been sitting unfinished for too long, and my biggest concern was figuring out what to do with the face, but I'll work something out. Seems like most artists who draw her kind of work out their own thing for her chin/face, so shouldn't be too hard. I'll just let something come to me!
Then I'm planning on drawing my Elf Ranger from DnD, and probably my best friend's Elf as well.
Now, on to the community.
I've been noticing something rather irritating, even though I know it's been going on for YEARS. And in far more than just he furry community. I've been doing my best to make friends. I always try to put others first, be kind and compliment them. But it's curious. And a reason why I'm going to conduct a sort of social study.
The EXACT same people I talk to through certain social platforms, may respond once, maybe not at all, or (if FB or something) offer a single like, and that's that. Yet curiously, when, say, another person talks at all, these same people add that person on every possible platform, and drop comments without prompting.
So why? I have GOD AWFUL self-esteem, and really don't like myself, so I try to conduct myself with the utmost humility towards others. I try to put everyone else first as much as possible. So what are the factors as to why, from what I've seen via three sites in casual observance, when myself and another talk the same amount and in the same way, do they attach to them and shy away from me?
Be a female, NSFW as Hell, and/or hurl free stuff at people. Those three factors in any combination are my current theory.
I've always prided myself on not needing to make friends, because I'd rather have a few friends I can trust, than have many who I can't. But at the same time, people leave. People always leave. And now I realize that maybe the trouble isn't making friends. It's the people. I've seen a few artists I follow leave this community because of their outlook on "how the community changed", even though I'm confident they just started to pull that plastic coating off, to be honest.
Well, it's either that, or I'm just a bad person.
Because I like a lot lot lot of the people in this community, but... I dunno. I guess nobody likes me. Thanks to all, what, three of you out of the thousands and thousands and millions (probably) of people out there in the furry community, thanks to you three who actually friended me, let alone even bother to talk to me.
