I'll probably NEVER make a Bsky account again... Not only that my first account on there got hacked because I was dumb and trusted a damn scam then everyone called my account out that they got "suspicious" messages from it (which weren't sent by me of course) and it made me feel like crap (the account was quickly suspended, thankfully). But also when I made new accounts, (three of them which I deleted myself this time cuz anxiety and other stuff and will probably never go back to them again) I noticed that people cared more about the "slop" I was drawing and posting than they did about my feelings. For example, whenever I'd vent or something people would barely respond but when I posted a badly drawn and anatomically incorrect pinup of Wile Coyote I'd get 200+ likes from some random furries and that's basically it. Maybe also a couple of nice comments which I, surely appreciated, but I still think that place left a generally bad impact on me. It made me lazier and "quicker" when it comes to drawing and made methink that I must produce art as faster as possible if I didn't want to lose followers or stuff. It made me have a massive burnout, compare myself to others and worse of all, have literal mental breakdowns. It's hard to be a neurodivergent person on the internet (what I am) and I just think that places like Bsky can simply ruin me. It's fine if other (neurodivergent) people like that place, but as someone who has troubles with my identity and lack of friends, I just think it's not for me That's also why I decided to not post my art on the internet in general (my other socials as well) for a while. I began drawing for every few days instead of everyday, traditionally, and it made me feel much more better and confident about myself. I also began drawing stuff which I wanted to see instead of something I'd think the internet audience would like. I began going outside more and socialize and also keep my new work for private/commercial use only I'm still struggling hard with my identity and who I want to REALLY be, but I think it's all (thankfully) coming together.
