technically I'm not an egomaniac I just have self esteem but I know people will call me one because they don't love themselves so they call anyone who does care about themselves a narcissist

ok so I'm gonna go on a bit of a rant here but I think the reason why so many people hate their art and themselves is because of people calling them egomaniacs if they don't basically neckbeards with no life and no self esteem go down to their mom's basement to go on their 1999 computer and when they see someone who likes their own art, they're called egomaniacs or narcissists. As a result, people end up thinking it's wrong to like their own art or say they're underrated or even deserving. They call themselves overrated and shitty when clearly they aren't. I think these people know their art is good, but realize they'll be hated if they say it. I know that was how I was. Then again though, I'm one person so I don't speak for everyone. Form your own opinions, kids, but I just want to say that. ok mini rant over

actually no mini rant not over I feel like you shouldn't feel bad about leaving. I do, that's the reason I always come back, but if you want to leave that's your choice and you shouldn't feel like you're betraying your friends. Normally if you're friends with good people they'll understand your decision. Let's say I left (again) and I came back (again) because I feel like my friend misses me. It's fine to feel this way, it sometimes does feel like betraying your friends, but you need to understand this one thing: YOU MATTER. If you don't want to be on the site, don't be on the site. Your friends will likely move on. This sounds dumb, but it's related. I had a dog named Petey once. He was an amazing dog. He passed away in 2015 (I think). I used to cry whenever I thought of him. Now I don't. I remember him, but I don't cry. Because I moved on. that will happen with your friends. Even if you're best friends, they will move on. Okay this is kinda becoming a vent and nobody will see this anyway so b
