OOC So other than being enough well known here, specifically in OTD of this small cat forum where there's only so many people anyways, I and anything I do tend to get ignored.
Art Comics Stories Projects Ideas Literally anything else...
It always gets ignored, yet I already know for a fact that if it had been anyone else, people would have flocked to it already and yet here I am, having maybe one person interested.
It's both for my online or offline life. And like, it's hard because I get so excited about my ideas and I want so desperately to share them, yet when I do, I'm met with nothing but silence.
It's especially like this in real life and I'm really getting sick of it. If I can't even get a simple kid's writing and illustrations class, or one new picture I drew noticed, than how am I ever going to be able to publish a book and get that out there?
I just...after so long it gets really disheartening.

I kinda feel that with my art. I'll put like 3-4hours in and I get pretty much no comments. If any comments, one word ones. It sucks when you have ideas for things and nobody pays attention. Just care for those that do notice though, okay?

I feel this way a lot when I try to talk with my friends or tell them a story. I always feel like even those closest to me really don't care about me and what I have to say. Many people always told me a change of attitude and confidence helps...still working on it

This happens on here and, even more so, on Warriors Amino.
Warriors Amino feels worse tbh, because on here at least my forum friends come and comment. But Warriors Amino, I've posted like 40+ things on there and have got a total of about 6 or so comments.

oh yeah i can relate. not with art, but just how i am in general. ive been told countless times by my parents how smart i am or something like that. and my teachers growing up always praised me when my parents went to them for conferences. so i felt pretty good about myself for a while.
then the past few years it's slowly dissipated. the impact of the same old tune has faded significantly. yeah. i was "smart." but so were my friends and peers. they were also praised for being "smart" but also for being passionate, hardworking, talented, a good artist, a good writer, creative, etc. i wasn't. didnt help either that i was shy. so i didnt stand out.
once, my lovely friend sang for a teacher because she liked her so much. another teacher passed by, said she was amazing, and invited her to sing at a ceremony. this was all in front of me.
another one was invited to play a special piece she composed, cuz she was so talented, and sing too, because also she was a good singer. and she was an excellent softball player. and was in honors classes.
i continued just being there.
it started to hurt a lot. a while ago my friend and i visited our old school to look around. she had said the principal wanted to talk to her, so i tagged along. and while i was there, the principal sung praises about her, and they conversed. i sat in a chair and watched. he did talk to me once, but considering 1. I have terrible conversational skills 2. I am plainly uninteresting. we didnt get far.
i mean, i cant do the things they could, but i was pretty decent too? right? too bad it wasn't good enough.
i really hated being a shadow. i got pretty jealous, but at the same time i often felt that i didnt deserve to be their friends, since i was so untalented and boring compared to them.
the feeling's faded away. but it still comes back when a teacher sings praises for my friends.

Every artist has probably faced this problem at least once in their lives. The best thing you can do is to keep believing in your work and ideas up to the point when something finally sticks and you get the recognition you deserve. Best luck.

Honestly.
I know the feeling.
I started a comic and had barely any people like it, when for fact many other people would be flocked and have many fans.
I have written fan-fiction that actually surpass story-line and length of other Fan-focus, and they have had maybe 1-3 fans at most, and I end up stopping because I'm tired of it.
I will spend a ton of time on making an RP, and if I do I think and make it individually, my forum friends usually do not join, instead a few random people do, and often times they quit or leave.
It's annoying. It makes me so mad and agitated, because I'm kind of tired of working hard to be involved here and literally being rejected,
I've had successful things, and I love the forums. But people don't like me I guess?

There's really quite a lot of people who get ignored on here. I see it all the time especially in off-topic writing, fanfiction section, and art forum. Art forum is basically dead, and with fanfiction and off topic writing, sometimes people just don't feel like reading through a longer post, no matter how good it is. Even in the roleplay sections people can get ignored. It's a large site.

Aw, I'm sorry. A lot of people know the feeling, and I do as well. My art teacher would cheer on the other students- even if they'd just drawn a stick figure. No matter what I did she didn't blink an eye. Of course, I've improved quite a lot since then and at that time my art wasn't the best, but the other students were literally the horrible. If it helps at all, I did read a few pages of your comic. I thought it was good, but I was just a bit intimidated by the page count aha. I've decided to go back and try reading it again though

I know how you feel, especially on here. I'm trying to be a big more active on OTD. The last time I came here I vented (before I came back) and no one responded when I needed support. Do people just not care on here? I've seen other vents ignored too, not just me. Being "busy" isn't an excuse either, I've seen people posting on other posts so soon after I post my vents. They're deliberately ignoring me. I kinda stopped venting on here because of this. It really is a huge letdown.

Trust me this is a problem a lot of people face, but hey, as long as you keep putting the effort into it and learning you can become better. You don't need a thousand words of approval to know your good at something, as long as you feel it and you keep bettering your work your fine. Heck, we all are fearing the world when we move on with our lives, getting a job, our own homes, and trying to create a life for ourselves. It's hard to get your name out there, but if you work to make something truly great snd unique, even if your not the richest person in Earth, you will do great and get by. Heck, you may even become a well known and praised author if you take the time now in your youth to create great stories. I'll tell you what, if you need advice on drawing/storytelling or whatever, you can ask me. I've been basically teaching myself for ages, and even critiquing myself and comparing my works to great works like Crash, so there probably some things I can help you with if that's what you want or need. Actually you said you have comics on this website?
