They say you shouldn't put your self worth into other people's hands, but it's sure is hard not to. Especially Instagram is great at punching down " works on a painting for 4 weeks, feels super proud, only bots comments " type of deal. I know better, but still wish people showed more interest in my work. Cause I doubt my own capabilities and then don't know what to do, it's less like that here on coso but... other places it hits bad. I just want to talk about what I've done, and feel seen.
@Tarqueth Thanks Tarq ^^ it's very hard at times. I mean, those mean comments in the back of your head gets very loud sometimes. " They only say so to be nice ", " if people really cared they would share more ". On a good day its easy to tell them off and focus on other loud voices " look how this image made you feel!" - " wow you really did an awesome job on that eye! Kid you would be so amazed!". I think I need to spend less time by myself lol ^^;;
