I feel as if people have been absolutely broken by the pirated manga and now think that comics just spawn online.

Damn artists in their ivory towers demanding food.

Thank you!

I feel this hard, I often think 'man, these should be my people, yet I'm so awkward'

I have this feeling too it's tough

Haha yeah this is me with most of my mutuals.

This, where do i start AH.

Yeah I think part of this is I have insane expectations for myself - like I have to look effortless when it comes to social situations instead of just letting myself be a bit human.

Whenever I do these tests it tells me I'm not.

I think I'm probably borderline with some other issues tbh.

It's a constant struggle with mine. Nobody knows what I have and I have 10k+ diagnosis ranging from anxiety to autism. It feels like I'm being told I'm 'fine' because I'm extremely high-functioning.

The fun game of, am I burned out, autistic, or did I miss critical development milestones because I literally didn't meet anyone who liked nerd stuff until I was 15.

This is just a mid-morning rant I'll probably delete. I think I'm okay-ish but I definitely constantly paddle out of my depth.

Social ability definitely does not translate to followers lol, but thank you.

Me desperately standing awkwardly in a corner, desperately trying to think of things to say to make it come off as if I'm competent, professional, yet casual.

It's missing a wine glass

They're perfecttr

Hey thank you!

Instagram as an art platform always felt really casual to me in comparison to communities here. People on there don't really engage with comics unless they're more mainstream, fanart from popular series or aligned with popular current trends.
