I thought the same when starting out but it turns out that if you're not a delusional attention starved autist or a sociopathic normie, it will only have negative effects on you and your art.
You start questioning yourself whether it's worth the effort, if there's a point.
You start procrastinating, you draw less and less while still craving the draw, but you'll spyral into the same questions and thoughts thus never doing anything, never drawing.
You'll start coping; "it's me, i am the mistake, if i only wouldn't be this lazy but what's the point of putting in a lot of effort for a minimal chance of getting my existence acknowledged by strangers on the internet who don't really give a shit but are there to consume content and if i drop the ball even once i'm pretty much done.
If i don't draw what people want, i'm done.
If i don't draw specific things, i might as well not even try.
If i don't have the required skill, why even bother?
So much effort to gain something small, one wrong move to lose it all.
Too much risk for no reward. No wonder i don't want to keep on pursuing. Maybe one day i'll wake up and find the strength to soldier on and reach my goals"

That day is never going to come, anon.
For art in itself is suffering, especially when it's infested by people.

But there is also nothing to gain.
After a certain point, you stop wanting things for you start to see their real value.
Every accomplishment is just by, with and for the acknowledgement of others.
Especially if you observe how people behave, it's not worth the trouble to establish a connection with them.

If friends and gfs would fix this kind of stuff, i wouldn't be here now, would i?
