I'm only lonely because I'm a cunt and can't relax my face when meeting new people. I freeze people out.

Trying to change, though. I never noticed but my eyes are particularly scary when I'm tense, I've been told they are like dead lumps of coal and unsettling to stare into.

How do you guys handle managing time between your passion and your partner? I'd honestly just like to shut myself in on weekends and draw all day, but my gf is a very active/sporty person

>> No.3661215

>>3661176
well anon, if that person is truly important to you then you better spend much more time with her. Art won't run away even if you draw 5h less today, but a relationship will suffer in the long run if you can't at least spare an hour of proper attention today.

The relationship of most artists suffer since they are too "obsessed" with becoming better, art, art, and only art. It was this way 500 years ago, and especially true today since there are so many other things that take your attention away. When you hear "An artist had 3-5 marriages" it's not because he got bored of his wife, or wants something "fresh and inspiring" in his life, it's because he's genuinely a lousy, selfish partner, who could never grow up and take responsibility for the things he has and hasn't done.

Don't be that guy anon, like I said, art won't run away

dreams/success > partner
You'll always have your career, vs someone who can just wake up one morning and breakup with you.

That being said if the only time you're not spending on art is when you're exercising with your girlfriend to counter act the effects of being a shut in drawing all day, then idk what the fuck you're complaining about. You should be doing that on your own regardless.

If we're talking about genuine, non-online connections: I was a friendless asocial misfit for so long I don't really care anymore. I know that'll sound edgy or whatever but even if I now get along just fine with people and enjoy company, I don't really feel close to anyone, never did. Maybe I don't want to. Perhaps that's because everyone used to act so shittily towards me for years for being an autist, who knows.
So, regardless of how much shit I have to distract myself daily, I actually like being alone, but still enjoy the occasional visit or invitation I get.

Podcasts about nothing are the best, my favorite's Sleepycast, they have such good chemistry and play off each others' stupidity so well and occassionally get into animation and art topics and the struggles of being artists and animators in current times. Sadly I've replayed every episode to the point of being able to recite them verbatim so I had to stop listening to it until the next yearly episode of season 2.

Dear OP

From working in the industry I think the best artist are ones with social life, if only it means they go outside and experience life (more inspiration for paintings etc)

I think artist are pretty introverted but really loners. Since artist are human we need some sort of connection. I find that the healthier ones have something else they enjoy. Dnd game nights, board game groups, life drawing, book club etc. Just something small group.

TL;DR: artist are humans and humans need a life oncw in a while to function, or at least not be boring.
Get a hobby and join a local group on it.

Ps if you feel you need therapy I highly recommend it
