Then reposting them is gonna be real quick and easy, I've just been reposting the same 20-30 pieces on here since I joined 2 years ago.
The internet should be grateful anyone shares their art at all!
Interesting. What's your reason for posting are online?
I wanted to post more often but when I tried that, I feel in the "no one likes my art since no one liked my post" hole so I decided to lay of posting any till I got better at making art for my enjoyment and having fun with it for my sake
Mainly boredom, but also to connect with other artists, and just share stuff that I enjoy/am proud of.
I used to be addicted to the numbers on Xitter, and I'd get depressed if anything "underperformed", so I'm trying to use Bluesky as a way to undo the unhealthy habits and mentality I picked up
But yeah if its making you feel shit, then taking a long break is the healthy thing to do, enjoying art and making it for yourself should be your #1 priority
Yeah I need to train myself to that mindset as well of making art without seek validation from it. I'll stick to making art for now and when I feel comfortable to post stuff again, Imma do it then, there ain't really any rush.
We've been conditioned to act like a free service that pumps out new shiny content every week, its bullshit. If they don't wanna see your art over and over again forever, then they never really cared
i honestly hatee reposting my art unless its like for a reason like in my mind it just feels spammy to repost it eventhough when ever someone else reposts im like "yeah thats cool" 😅
All of us being taught to fear repeatedly sharing what we're proud of incase we lose followers/engagement is actual insanity. The people that complain about artists reposting habits without a doubt think 🅰️ℹ️ is cool, so fuck em
No one should be ashamed of wanting more eyes on their art, its kind of the point, all the plebs online tricked us into thinking its cringe/annoying/try-hard cause they just want endless brand new content on their feeds, they don't give a shit about art, so fuck those guys and keep reposting

But you're right
When someone else reposts? Cool! They’re doing their best and getting more eyes on their beautiful art
When I do it? It’s cringe, try-hard, annoying T_T
