I've been posting art online for 10 years, never gotten an account over 3k. I've seen loads of newer artists shoot past and find success, and it can be really hard sometimes to keep going. But nobody shorted me or cut me out, it just happens.
The girls in bg3: "idiot. Weakling. I hate you. Never talk to me. *spits in your mouth*"
The boys: "ah, my most special friend, how are you. More adventuring today? Ahaha yes, slay indeed. We shall partake in enough slaying for a lifetime this eve, methinks. I would die for you"
The small account angst is real. Its okay to be angry. Its okay to be sad and lonely, frustrated that you can't find anyone to share the gift that you've been nurturing. Those feelings are valid and important. But never take those feelings out on another human being.
