Opening Up More Sociably?
5 years ago
I just want to share something that may or may not be much of a problem to me, but could be detrimental towards me from around the internet and in real life.
To spare those who don't want to read the long story, I'm a rather asocial person, and that could be a bad thing.
So for the longer version. I don't usually interact with people a whole lot around these art sites very often due to that I don't have much to say in the matter. I never really ask any other artist for anything like commissions or whatever, I don't say anything unless I have something to actually comment, & I don't say "thank you" very often because I figure it's as pointless as a prayer.
It's kind of a problem with the few people I have as friends in Discord that I don't usually socialize that much unless someone speaks first to me, and more often than not, the conversation is short lived. It often results to me sounding rather cynical, disappointing, and off-putting. I don't bother making friends from places like Steam or on other video game platforms. I don't even go to places like Facebook or Twitter for all that matter. As for real life, I don't go out to town all that often, and I don't even socialize with anyone at my workplace.
It could be just because of my Asperger's that I don't socialize much from whatever plane (life or internet), or maybe I just don't have a whole lot in common with anyone. Most of the time I tend to talk to myself about conversations or scenarios that I could have out of the blue with no rhyme or reason; almost like I'm rehearsing for a play, a moment, or (if I did these things) a podcast. Of course that would just come off as crazy if I weren't just talking under my breath.
Not holding any promises, but perhaps I might have to be more sociable other people. Maybe watch some artists that I might like, watch some art streams. At least I'm faving pictures; I hardly ever did when I had some older accounts. As for real life, that could be more difficult. At least I would show some of my art more often than I did over 5 years ago; which is seldom.
Overall, I'm not sure if I would make a change and open up more to people, but who knows, it's just something I want to make clear to anyone.
