I need to make more artist friends for my health and wellbeing but I don't ever wanna come off as parasocial or only wanting to befriend someone just because I like their art
Do you see my problem here
#ramblings of an arrow#all the artists I would like to befriend are also ppl who like seem like genuinely neat ppl#based on what ive seen from their non art posts as well#but I dont want to be weird!!!#so I just sit here#it doesnt help that like if I enjoy an artist my brain just assumes they must be like super popular#and obviously therefore would be weirded out by some random follower being like hi i like ur shit also u seem cool#what if we chatted so so casually while we vibed each other out and mayhaps became friends#it also does not help that I have been on the recieving end of being the cool artist someone wants to befriend because they want free shit#and like I WOULD NEVER DO THAY#but I understand the fear on a visceral level#it fucking SUCKS to become friends with someone only to realize down the line they were just using you#for art or clout or whatever#it sucks so much#which is why I am always terrified of coming off that way lolllllll#and like the 2 biggest offenders used me because they knew I was a good storyteller and wanted me to run DnD for them#and then absolutely wrecked those games#and most of my favorite artists are ttrpg artists#so im just sittingggg hereeeee#not wanting anyone to ever think i would do that#pls I just enjoy and appreciate other ppls art and characters#but in a normal way where I dont feel entitled to anyone elses creativity or energy#anyways I am making up problems in my own mind I know this
