Description I'm beginning to think that people don't care if I'm part of the community or not. One or two of you make an effort to stay connected with me but the rest of you don't.
I'm seriously considering leaving again... And that's not something I want to do. But I miss the community feeling from you guys. When you would actually give me feedback for my work. When you'd just leave a comment. And it makes me feel the worst when I say I'm doing a QNA or a contest, and none of you can be bothered to join. I had one person say they'd try and work on an entry. One.

I know people can be busy... But not every single day of the year busy. I don't feel I'm wanted anymore on DA and I don't want to have to leave, I have some stories I havnt even started yet, I have loads I havnt finished. I have artwork to do and post.
But I'm struggling to see the point if no one cares anyway...

I'm trying to be a part of my own Foxling community, but I'm not even sure there is one anymore...

I just don't know what I'm gonna do at the moment...

Sorry.

I find that the DA community is always changing a lot and fast, it might not also be the most notorious for its community. People's interest also change drastically for example one moment they can love something and the next they hate it.
People do also change sites to tubler or other ones.

When I usualy read fanfiction or stories, and I come to the comment section I normaly don't comment because, I can't come up with anything to say, what comes to head sounds either mean or stupid or so is it something someone has alredy said. I also find that I can't really give criticism, I'm possible a bit to kind....
That can be some reason why not a lot of peopel comment, or so are they just jerks!

Just hang in there

Thanks friend, I am trying to work on more stuff but my hobby has me traveling at the moment so going to different shows to fight and stuff.
I don't want to leave DA and I do understand that opinions change, tastes change etc.
I just wish it was how it was before

Its okay friend, at least I know I'm not the only one who thinks about this kind of stuff. I too have loads of art and stories planed and in progress, but sometimes I wonder if its even worth it when no one has said anything about a work that I had put so much effort into. But those thoughts I tend to ignore as I learnt to not put my art on a high pedestal and expect people to flock in with praise, as most people tend to fave and move on.
I also try to reply to all my comments as quick as I can but I end up unable to think of anything to say right away so I tend to come back to them once I've come up with something to say, which ends up being forgotten as I get busy, I get new comments or I get sick etc. So when you said that you were hosting another new contest around the theme "beach" I thought about whipping something up, but as I was thinking about replying and tell you that I would do something for your contest, I got sick…not the sick I've been having for the last few weeks which weren't as bad, but I got a winter flu from my mum. Le sigh…and le coughing of pain

So I guess I'll tell you now that I plan on making a Yogborrower beach picture for your contest once I get rid of this horrid flu, and I too wonder about the Yog community, a lot of people I like to talk to have gone or just forgotten me, and I don't want to lose a friend like you. You're like one of my first proper online friends who has pretty much the same interests as myself.

Yeah I understand friend, I get sick too and in loads of different ways, and I do try to comment on your work I just don't like to comment on everything because I feel ill annoy people, I just wish I had feedback so I knew what to write and draw more of what people like etc.
Idk it's just been getting me down recently and my anxiety has been kicking in a lot in the past week, that and writers block and people not showing an interest has gotten me pretty down and low.
But hopefully I will get some motivation, I've had a little more over he past week because I went to a fight ckub show and I have another coming up next week.
Idk you know I support your work and you support mine and hats good enough for me, one person showing an interest makes me feel like my job has been done.
Idk, I just wish the community would come back together and begin to actually show more interest than just fave, I wish they would comment as well :/
It's good to know you've always got my back friend, and I hope you know I always have yours

the active level on DA fluctuates, many of the artist I watch hasn't posted anything in mouths(I'm guilty of this as well). Interests change, and people fade from one community and become active in another.  I'm not sure what can be done, but I send you a hug of understanding.

Thanks, I understand that people move from one group of things to another. But mines gone from loads of people who I consider my friends, to nothing.
It's just getting me down...
