A Serious and Honest Cry for Help by KartoffelFledermaus
I've improved so much, so why do I get such little attention? I know it's petty, but everyone deserves to feel appreciated or at least like they have some attention. I was more popular when my art was total garbage. It's like I'm broadcasting to the universe and getting barely even static.
EDIT: After some kind words from Bartan, I'm feeling a bit better. I see that instead of being a whiny butt about the lack of attention, I should be the furry I want to see in the world and give attention. What goes around comes around, right? If you too feel down about this or a similar issue, I implore you to go out and be the furry you want to see in the world. Give the kind of attention you wish to receive. Who knows, we might just make furry art sites fun again!

Thank you for actually caring about the feelings of someone you barely know. It's like the internet is the universe, it's getting bigger, but it's also getting colder. It feels like I'm a far-flung galaxy on the edges of existence. I miss the days when everything was more close, and I felt appreciated. But I guess I just have to live with the current reality and keep pressing forward.

I hear you, mate. Things are just... Difficult for everyone lately, and it really does feel like our worlds are getting a little colder. But you do have ways to reach out as well. Sometimes it works, sometimes it won't. Some relationships (be it friendships or more) will last, others will kinda fade without much effort. But "leaving" (talking about FA mostly) won't really help that much. I know a lot of people have felt the very same way, especially about that site; unable to really go elsewhere because 'everyone is on FA regardless how outdated it seems to be' >>;
Still, I hope I at least helped brighten your day a little

Stay positive, mate. I know it's hard, but you can do this <3~

It's not just you, mate. It just kinda feels like everyone has been lacking attention/feedback lately. I've always found things were very quite on Weasyl regardless, but even taking a quick look on your FA... I can see the problem isn't here (it's honestly the entire fanbase). But the issue isn't with you either, I can promise you that. A lot of people have been feeling 'underappreciated'. I know that doesn't specifically fix the problem, but I do hope it helps to know that.
I've often struggled with this very same question over the past several years; "What am I doing wrong?", and really know what it is like to get a little attention only for it to fade away. It's frustrating, to the point where you want to lash out at them or become bitter (not saying that you've done that here). But just keep at it at your own pace, remember that drawing/artwork is a hobby, and try not to get disappointed when you pour your heart into a piece only for it to get nothing for views. Don't think of drawing as that, but more like "gaining experience". Improving should be the goal, not appealing to a silent crowd- and you have been doing just that: Improving.
Keep at it mate, do it for yourself and your mental health. Not for others <3
