I live alone. I don't mind it, it beats living with a roommate or controlling parents. However, the silence of people who are familiar with my work really hurts me. I hold polls on my art, I share, I ask questions. No one seems to have the time nor the courage to respond back.
And it's killing me. It makes me feel like I'm drawing for nobody. It's painful. The thing is, I love drawing. I love working on pics, but given that my patreon is still lonely and I hardly ever get any feedback, it's hurting me and the way I feel about sharing my stuff.
