I often wonder if really boring people are just people that are afraid to be themselves.
Not being able to speak your mind, and voice your view of the world would be pretty fucking boring.
I come to these thoughts by way of experiencing this very act.
I feel like I've become kinda of boring/stale as I always watch my tongue. Keep my views to myself, or just spout them off to my wonder wife Lisa .
Maybe I should just unlock myself, and not give a shit about what people think, or if they follow me anymore.
This is all we have. If we can't share with others, the world we live in. Then what the hell is the point?
Neutral is boring.
Stay weird.

Most people have very, very little to say.
Or more correctly: they can't keep their mouths shut (or fingers off the keyboard) but they have very little of merit to say.
"Opinions" as opposed to INFORMED opinions.
I'd imagine your followers wish to see your *art*.
And more of it.
Your deep, silent pondering has once again stopped you from completing an Inktober?
Or, again, your webcomic?
No one is forcing you to stay silent just as no one is prodding on the the idiots who love to hear themselves speak (type).
But it's always the same: those that share your opinion (or "opinion") will dig it, those that don't will not be swayed or probably even try to see things from your perspective. Depending on the level of annoyance they find your words, then the 'unfollowing' (defriending, etc) will happen. And then you have something else to gripe about.
And less time to draw.
Which is your, and possibly even your passion, job, no?

It's not a matter of opinion. It's a matter of showing the rest of the world how you deal with being in it with everyone else. How you see the world may be totally different than the way I walk through this fucker. It's not about my likes, or my thoughts on a particular subject matter, but rather how those subjects effect the life I live.
And it is TOTALLY a psychological obstacle to the completion of art. It eats away at the very core of me being a creative. If I'm not allowing myself to just be how I would be without trying to befriend everyone and keep everyone sated with just art pumping out like a god damned machine... then what is the point of me? There is no personality, and the work is bland, forgettable, and could be done by any number of artists that have no direction.
Art is more than lines on paper, or at least for me. It's been soulless for a while now, and I feel like it's because it's self depreciated.

I get you. Some need to communicate more than others, but I guess, at times, we all need to reach out; be heard and maybe offer others (aside from significant others) your open ear.
Working from home (as I believe is your situation) completely cuts one off from, what can be a bloody burden of dealing with others. But however horrid it can be (even riding public transportation) it _is_ a stimulus. They say we’re a "social animal" after all…
Art. Hmmm. I have the benefit of it just being a hobby that occasionally brings 'coffee money'. My attitude, is, especially with the regimented time frame, whatever I produce is just the best drawing I could do on _that_ day.
Tomorrow it would be different, and potentially even ‘better’.
Most of what any of us do, in any job, 'could be done by any number of people', but, say, the person managing the store you buy your groceries from has that job because they do what it takes to hold that job. And they (hopefully) do it well.
Art as a career...as harsh as it sounds but I think you’d need to take a step back and take it a little less personal. Shitty to say but sometimes, if not often (and possibly even always): it’s just a job.
Sincerity, and even busting your ass, does not pay the bills. Sad to say.
