Doubt and anxiety about being an artist? Feeling insecure? Want to rant a little?

Ahh thank you, I'm surprised someone actually read through that long nonsensical rant. I really appreciate it.

Idk I guess I just wanted to vent cause I really really love art. But its weird cause its a line of work that people romanticize and think they want to do, but their actions seem to say otherwise.

Its really frustrating, cause I got all excited and put in time and effort. But my old art buddy eventually just went "meh" every time, and is still complaining about the same stuff 1-2 years later. Even now I keep doing little things to help her, when she should just figure this stuff out on her own.

In reality, I think she's doing fine and she's just used to complaining to me, but its making me anxious when I'm kinda stressed about other things atm.

While i did feel the need to rant about something today, it's not purely art related. More action-related.
Plus i swear and shout a bit in that rant hence why i did it over on Deviantart and not here to spare you guys.

But yeah, it's mostly about the lack of interaction with people (in this case to make it more relevant about art and comics, readers). While there are always one or two people that regularly interact with me through the comments (i'm so grateful for them tbh) there's not really much chatting and interaction going on. That makes me a little sad.
