YET NOT A SINGLE SOUL CARE ABOUT WHAT I DO.
My family just knows I'm "an artist" and has no idea what the fuck that means. I made a full animation, showed it to dozens of people, but only two of them actually seemed to be capable of even paying attention.

Am I the exception, caring about what people make?
I have to go out of my way to not care about things people close to me are producing, but never once has anyone approached me and demosntrated genuine interest in what I do.

Except for a couple women trying to get in my pants, which makes it even worse.
