i remember why i got so stressed out about this site now i was desperately straining for any validation and comfort i could find, and when people didnt respond right away or deleted my conversation, my mind would immediately spiral into self doubt and overthinking the community itself was friendly enough, and i had some solid friends, but there was just so much drama going on. i was glued to this site because i felt dependent on the people and the community and all of the emotions. i stopped focusing on school and real life issues. i would check this site every few minutes to see if there was something new. this site wasnt just about art for me. it eventually became too much, and im not sure why im even back. ill probably regret it soon 🙃
