Hello! I just wanted to point out something from the beginning section of the video.
I’m a first generation child of Mexican/Honduran immigrant parents.
I saw someone mention how I’m generalizing everyone from Latin America as Mexicans by mentioning loud parties and music, but I specified that it was my mom who’s Honduran who likes loud music. When it comes to the toddlers party, there’s so many different types of Latin Americans living here who are very social. They love partying, my neighborhood is very close, and loves to include everyone, treating each other like family. which is why I mention them as my people.
My parents struggled a lot with xenophobia so they went to neighborhoods that were immigrant friendly.
My videos only speak on my experiences, this is my channel after all. I just wanted to clear that up, that’s all!
parties get loud asf in LATAM too!!! ain't nothing you should apologize for when it comes to your experiences.
making art friends is ROUGH 💔
I don't understand why people choose to be so angry about experiences that aren't even their own. Can't people just get a brain and figure out that maybe others are talking about their experience alone? I hate how everyone online is forced into a paranoia over picking each and every word correctly, so that no one gets offended 🙄
I'm latinamerican, from Brazil, and everything you said checks out
I'm not Latina, but I struggle as a quiet introverted artist with my mostly Mexican community- tons of kids and noise...and I'm starting my senior year at art and design school in the fall, so lots of studying/writing in addition to wishing I had more time to make art.
It helps a lot when you talk about your culture and being an artist as well!! I haven't made any friends in art school, and still feel like an outcast...which I'm trying to just embrace. Thanks for putting yourself out there and sharing!! ❤❤❤❤
The worst part about not having friends in general and being an introvert is that every time i want to look up advices people always say that you have to be with a friend group to not lose motivation. Like, COME ON MAN T ^ T
introvert highfive
@@ghostofpatches introvert highfive :[
online friend group?
I actually prefer having art friends than being a big artist on social media. The internet is such a toxic place! Especially for small creators like me.
If anyone wants to be moots i'll be here! ❤
your art is cool! I want to eat it
As a small creator I literally have no art friends 😭I’ve tried so hard I’m so envious of bigger
yess i love when some artists have a little friend group of similar creators and hype each other up
Wanna be mutualss?? Ur art is so cute 👉👈
I'm down to be moots with all of you if y'all are down 🥺🥺
Making connections IS hard, and creatives are sometimes really quirky. That quirkiness can be a little off putting at times. But I promise most people who love making things want to bond over self expression. I think finding something you genuinely find interesting about them (how they dress or what they are making) and telling them you like it, no matter how absolutely cheesy, helps a lot in the beginning. So long as it’s authentic, it automatically gives you something to talk about. So don’t feel bad about having to be the golden retriever! Everyone relies on someone else’s friendliness and courage to feel welcomed and appreciated. And don’t give up on the shy ones! Sometimes what they need is consistency to feel safe opening up. Just frequently greeting them often helps. Inviting them to draw with you, or offering to look at each other’s sketchbooks can create a slower, cozier environment where they feel more comfortable. So don’t feel down, you’re not the only one. We all struggle and it’s a skill to develop. The right people will come into your life ❤🐶
wanting more friends that you can relate to is so REAL!!!! when school ended, me and my friends ended up doing very different things and while I love and cherish them, it gets kinda lonely to be in such different paths. that being said, THE ART COMMUNITY SEEMS SO SCARY LIKE???💀💀 maybe they are just really introverted and don't know how to react??? some people just appear to be super intimidating, then they turn out to be just as nervous as we are!! I hope that you'll make art friends soon, sometimes we end up connecting with people at really unexpected times, and I'm sure that time will come for you!!
(also I know this comment is already pretty long BUT the soccer obsessed dad struggle is so real😭😭I'm brazilian and my dad is always onto that lmao)
Aww, thank you :)
( And YES xD )
It feels impossible to make art freinds, I just want a group of people that have similar interests tbh, so I could share my art with them and they could share theirs with me, and give eachother tips and Critiques, that'd be fun
Hispanic household is so real 😭 I can’t have my peace without them being loud
since ive been introverted my whole life, and had troubles making friends since very little, recently trying to take art seriously after what seems like a life time i completely get you.
making friends in general is HARD yo.
making ART FRIENDS is, hardcore difficulty hard.
I found something weird and it might get me some hate but art communities are a weird double edged sword.. Specially when you have a collection of people who want recognition or a career in art.. You have people who deep down want to help you and encourage you but they also very aware that you are also their competition.. I would imagine it happens the same in many competitive fields, even more so in fields effected by the current growth of A.I.
As an artist myself I decided not to go to art school at all
I instead went to a school with different people so I can learn from them and get more experience
I think one of the reasons it's so hard to make art freinds is because (for me, at least) artists are veryyy intimidating, it's bad anough that I'm always feeling judged and not confident in my art, but another artist who probably understands alot more then me is sooo... idk, just hard to get over it lol
Yeah, I can totally relate! I really wish I had art friends, finding them is so difficult especially ones that are on the same wavelength as me! I just wish I could find people who are fond of the same things that I am 😞
Its hard to make new friends too, especially if you feel self-conscious or like too anxious to come off normal. I made some friends unexpectedly through an art group, and well.. there wasn't a goal aside from just 'hanging out' to draw except for the yearly book we used to publish. We'd hang in public spaces and talk about some life things or chit chat how's life going or hey have you tried this new material? But as everyone got older everyone withdrew to their own comfort circles because every person has a unique view and or preferred human to hang out with. So we broke into smaller groups...then everything changed when covid attacked, and everyone's been a little too busy with their own things now. Its hard, but I try to poke them now and then. I'm trying to revive the regular hangouts in hopes I can draw new and old peeps back, but finding safe 3rd place spaces are getting harder to find and I need to coordinate everyone's schedules. At least you're trying, don't give up :) Try again.
damn youtube algorithm got so real wtf, you're also an artist that can't find art friends irl and has a loud household so they can barely find time to record videos and live in a mexican area by Chicago??
i'm nigerian so i relate to the loud parties lol and the amount of parties are *a lot*
i've lost count with the amount of weddings i've been to 😭
i didn't go to art school but, as for making friends in uni, i met most of my friends were via clubs /societies like anime, games, etc
and post-uni, i've made art friends from going to art events! also it helps if you meet up with people after the event too. i table at conventions and i've made friends in the artist alley as well :D
it's a slow process to make friends. when i graduated, all my friends moved back to their towns so they became long-distance friends. i had no friends that lived loacal to me and i had to start from scratch in a way to make irl friends
artists seem to have huge egos and are very insecure initially so there needs to be a setting that removes these before any of them can really get along in any productive way (as an artist who has zero art friends for the last 30 years, including going to school)
While I don't go to art school, I relate to struggling to talk to anyone in the art classes I have gone to. and I agree trying to talk to other artists online is *TERRIFYING* lol
Ya’ll are making friends instead of enemies???
Let's be art enemies.
I really love the artstyle! But I felt the second hand embarassment when greeting new people😂, being the more social one seems like I'm bothering other people😅. I would like to see more of your videos!
Ikr!! And Thank you!! :D
I want to be friends with people so bad, I can tolerate literally anything what they draw (as long as it's not illegal), but NOBODY ELSE WANTS TO BE FRIENDS WHAT.
I was trying to keep up with a rule "everyone in the room just waits for someone to talk to them!" Because that's true for me, but people DON'T WANT TO TALK AT ALL
Literallyyy😭😭
I canr relate A LOT. The community is scary- and even of I try to make friends... They dint seem to want that too. Also i feel like im hearing from another me bcs except school everything matches me lmao.
Also I thought you have like 14k a last with such an art style! You're so underrated girl!
You summed up exactly how I feel with making freinds now! I feel like it’s the effect of the pandemic if that makes sense. For me, I feel the same way as you, and I am in an average public school.
This video is so absloutely real
I've been literally going to therapy for a year now because of how hard it is for me to make deep connections/friendships and still haven't figured out HOW. I am friendly (I guess...) and I get along with a bunch of people; but same, if I don't start the conversations, they'd never talk to me lmao
wow! i completely relate, i also wish i had art friends, or people who pursed things like art or making videos passionately, it sure it difficult, nice video! keep going! i feel like you're going to go far!
Jeez your part of Chicago kinda sounds similar to some parts South Jakarta or South Tangerang where people are celebrating either birthdays or weddings the music is always LOUD, especially home weddings like they'd actually block roads & make passers-by take different routes.
Id love to make more art friends
This makes me want to be more active in my art discord groups
I miss sharing my artworks with people who can be excited with me T^T
Did you draw that banner on your channel? It looks so good!! :)
yeah frr
My friends are a high school art teacher and graphic designer respectively. But I didn’t meet them at college. I’ll go out with these friends for art nights. But it’s taken a while.
Best thing you can do to make friends (I think) is asking to sit next to someone and start asking questions about what they are working on in front of them. People like to talk about themselves. If you show a genuine interest in what they’re doing, they will open up.
i love meeting other artists that i can get along with
Being introverted and extremely shy has ultimately left me friendless. Its just genuinely so hard to approach people irl, I remember before I graduated I used to always want to be friends with this group of friends who were artists and very theatrical but I never had the courage.
Making friends online is also really difficult for me since somehow everyone is either younger than me or older 😭 when I feel like I’m getting along with someone and find out that they’re 14 or like in their 20s, I’m 18 so you’d think it would be easier but I guess not..lol. I’m again, also just really awkward so most times I just end up with acquaintances not actual friends which is, depressing.
Art friends really drive me to improve more than anything else
Omg, I really feel that part in the beginning about working in a loud-ass house lol. Latino family
I actually relate to this video so badly, everything from the latino family to the struggle of getting new friends to not being able to relate to my old friends is so dammn real and it sucks, at least its good to know im not the only one with this problem but idk.
Definitely not everyone can go through with making full-animated videos especially when they are so long, but still i can appreciate the effort that went into editing, recording and drawing all of this, and you shouldn't feel lazy at all for not taking the 2 months it could have taken to animate it. Great video!
making art friends is so hard because the friends i have made and gotten close with have suddenly gotten super toxic it’s rough out here
I've been wanting art friends for quite a while. Technically I do, but it's not really the same when you're a lot more experienced and serious about art and have completely different interests from them. I won't give up on looking for new friends, but it definitely isn't easy at all :C
Woah your art is sooo good!! ❤
@@kawaiikiwi.1820 Thanks! Your art is super cute!
@@mintiimidnight thank youuu :))
yoooo wanna be friends
i think what also makes it harder is what people are interested in drawing- ive tried so hard making friends who do art but i couldnt relate to what anime or game they drew. another thing is if our personalities dont match or mix well then its really difficult for me to befriend them,,,
i've had friends online who, coincidentally, mostly all became artists, but i was that person who ended up ghosting everyone when they reached out cud of social anxiety and the fear that our connection would deepen. i never felt bothered, i js felt like by replying i would bother them. it's strange and kinda the polar opposite of your circumstance though i do understand
Are we twins on some spiritual level??
Same…
We come from similar backgrounds and I also went to art school and found this exact problem, I had a hard time getting friends as well during my time at school but the way I met one of my long time friends was when I overheard them talking about one of my favorite games and just butted in and mentioned that I’ve been trying to find someone to play that game with. Unfortunately I did have a lot of trouble with other friends and I trusted people that ended up backstabbing me, but through that troubling time I met other friends at school that connected with me and really accepted me. They are the people that I hang out with and we all have a discord that we use to share art and talk on. I also found joining art discords really helpful if you want to make new friends
no but I feel you on the animals bugging you at inconvenient times front, but more when I'm on call with friends trying to draw. it's like suddenly, as I'm in middle of trying to draw something for my friend and talking to said friend.... the cats have to have the zoomies and jump onto the back of my chair or beg me for fresh water.
But as for art friends just remaining in my tiny bubble has worked better for my poor anxiety than posting my art often to social media (to be fair, social media can be a very toxic place). I have exactly 6 friends who draw and only one of them draw nearly as often as I do and all of them are online
I FEEL THIS!!! I wanna have more art friends but idk how to even *find* anyone who also draws irl and talking to mutuals online sounds scary. Like how do i even start that conversation? "Hi i like ur art and you also like my art lets art together :3" ??? It feels like id come off weird lmao
I’ve tried every year of high school to draw in class (when we’re not working), trying to get noticed by others but it never worked! I always found myself in a class with nobody that draws. This years was the most clear out of them all: a teacher asked what was our hobby/sport and asked if other classmates had the same one. I said I liked to draw, result : nobody draws here again.
Guess I’ll continue to draw alone
This is so true ahhh 😭😭 your art is amazing btw!! :)
So real and like, sitting in silence is what usually happens 😭 (if you’re fine with that happening, wanna be friends on discord? Tryna be more out there)
I’ve never seen a more relateable video before. I’ve been doing art for a hot minute now and I can never find new art friends who don’t already have their own clique. I used to have a groups of friends but they’ve all gone on to non art related jobs and we just don’t really click anymore cuz of it. And anytime I try and make new art friends they’re always so stand-offish, think I want something from them or are just flat out rude. Maybe it’s because art is so competitive that artists tend to be so unwilling to befriend people. I’ve made new friends who aren’t artists but I miss having a group together making ocs and stuff.
I feel like watching this video we’re the same person because same struggles lmao. This is my poor attempt at throwing out a breadcrumb for you.
Gosh making art friends in the year 2024 is so hard Dx feels like everyone only wants to be friends because of follower counts/art trades/art moots and not any genuine friendship 🥺🙏🏻 REAL HOMIES WYA?!
Also~ fellow art student grad here and introverted person who hates initiating:’) I also am in contact with only one from art school and she wasn’t even my major!
I feel you on the bestie thing, I think I’m getting closer at it but it’s tough to make friends as an introvert, and then as an artist online ;~; you’re totally right on the pre-existing groups where it feels so hard to integrate yourself. Also I’m on Twitter but you right about them crazy ones 😭 anyways cheers I hope we can find friends soon~
I really thought you were a popular youTuber, I was so surprised to see that you didn't have so many subs as I thought you did. Ur underrated hope you get more subs ❤
i'd love to have more art friends, i need to hear more cool stories about oc's :O i LOVE hearing about people's oc's!! ^-^ :D
Competition closes you off and doesn’t provide growth.
Collaboration is the best way forward.
We all awkward it’s almost human nature at this point, but you don’t know what they have in their heads. They might want to be your friend.
Being kind is a great start and a good greeting. People usually won’t sprout claws and spit acidic venom. They might seem awkward but just be patient and have faith. You might be surprised.
honestly I've met most of my friends through friends I already had, like not even kidding, around 90% of them at least and with the other ones we just kinda started talking one day and it stayed like that but if i could give one friend making advice for everyone I would say don't be afraid to bother them most people actually like this attention even when they don't show it right away, I've recently started talking to people more just to see if it would work and people actually rolled with it, even the ones I didn't quite expect to do so
omg honestly, i joined an art club at our school and they are so nice but i get so nervous dude.. its like i cant approach them ( you are not alone)
Absolutely feel this, its strangely hard to find people to throw random art at each other and not feel out of place.
There is NO WAY you have under 1k subs. This video is great! I love ur art style :))
Oh, I totaly understand you. I'm not in art school yet, but going to courses and this people are... okay? Like we talked and gigled sometimes, one day we got pretty fun group, but in the end of the day... I dunno, maybe that's my country thing, but when I asked people in chat what they draw except art studies(cubes, spheres) many of them... didn't draw at all. Like, I'm not even talking about internet culture or fandoms. They just... didn't draw except courses and had different interests. And I get that we going to be designers and for some it's just job, but it's so frustrating that those people didn't even hold a pencil before and never will except concepts for adds cause we can't understand each other.
Plus I'm a person that have a "mask". That's kinda means that I, as I person can look grumpy or scary for people that don't know me, but when I open up I boom as an kinda energetic, too much talking, analysing and fandoming person. Plus I can be kinda dumb in irl social situations and don't understand some jokes or sarcasm as well. So that's not only make some people fear me or think that I don't want to talk to them, but I fear can not like me in the end. Plus have social contact traumas that make me more closed, hard to trust and firstly thinking that person attack me then being nice/jokey.
I really love and appreciate my friends and known ones I have now, but we don't really contact much and manly throught internet, which sad cause I kinda want to talk to someone irl now, having ability to go outside. Or even talk more often on internet, but I understand that many of them have their stuff to do or reasons we just can't. And that's really frustrating, especially after firstly great, but in the end failed experience when I met person with which I can talk almost all day and they really listened to me. That's just sad :(
I came on CZcams to look up how to make friends and this was the first thing on my recommended I’m so insanely happy
Honestly I went to artschool and most the people I managed to friend I litterally dont talk to anymore, the people from school I'm friends with still happened AFTER school. I'm AuDHD and jsut usually didnt fit in even when I was friendly, and college most people were still figuring out how to be their own people and just shoved away anyone who didnt completely get their humor.
For online id say its easy to find friendly people, but not easy to find people who follow through on things. A lot of people will make posts on wanting art moots but then they never interact with people. I started being the person to follow through and be like HI HELLO YES LET ME HEAR ABOUT YOUR OCS AND HERE ARE MINE!! DO YOU LIKE MUSIC? HAVE A PLAYLSIT! Course I have the social battery of a grape so I can only do that so long, but I've gotten faster at seeing whos worth that energy and who isnt....summary IDK dont be afraid to stick your leg out and be kind, most the people I've befriended has come from taking that leap
If it's any consolation, lol, it's not any easier making friends as an extrovert. I'm good at initiating, but people still are hesitant to talk much, actually talk on the phone instead of insisting on messaging, keeping plans instead of flaking out at the last minute, or even making plans at all. You end up making a lot of more surface-level connections that never really pan out to anything very meaningful.
THIS!! 😭 I have a few art friends online and a few community to see which I'm grateful though I don't go to art school, I got to a small uni and I rarely attend events and I usually have hybrid classes so I'm not able to make friends even art friends so it's hard honestly. Also I'm hispanic! I'm happy to see a fellow Latino artist! ^^
Thank you for talking about your experience with friend making it’s all so relatable! 😭 Awesome video!
I went through THE SAME THING when I went to art school in Chicago. I wonder if its because east coasters are just different. Luckily I had friends outside school.
Honestly I can’t really relate since I’m extremely extroverted and have no problems making friends although I noticed that making friends in the art community is much harder since most of them do already have their own groups. I usually compliment their art ( don’t do this randomly or if you’re lying) and ask them about their interests while being openly forward with mine. Sometimes when I hear people call artists introverts I think I’m an exception ig?😅 but to anyone out there struggling to make friends in general I recommend to be open and friendly even if that person seems to be intimidating since they’re just as lonely as you and want to see if they can truly trust you. Just starting out small with a short conversation works and don’t be nervous or embarrassed since they will feel it and back away that’s from experience 😅 so just take it slow since it’s not the end of the world if you strike up a tiny conversation you never know, that small conversation might lead to something else 😊
As a filipino descendant.. I relate with the loudness of a household so it's so hard to record/stream.. I GET IT.. First video I've watched of yours and I adore your art style and loved the video.
I felt happy that I’m not the only one with this problem but felt sad that others go through this as well.
I love your art style and I appreciate the hard work you put in this video.💕 Keep up the great work!
I love to draw as a hobby but I wish that one day it’ll be my job. I even joined an art club and I go there sometimes, but I always feel like I’m intruding. While my friends from high school have gotten so disconnected, it makes me cry when I see old pictures of them.
I wish for all lonely artists out there to have a friend or more.❤
Your video accurate description my art life. every time I made a new art friend and will cool down for a while, an gradually no longer contact. Even a once I was be deleted from a internet friend who I try made in a common game community in few months. Sorry for bad English.
i like the little segment at the beginning. there’s this video by TwoSetViolin where it’s “4 hours of asian mom nagging you to do your work/practice/studying” and a lot of the comments are like “man this made me cry from nostalgia” so personally i’d use the opportunity to just record the chaos. you never know when this mundanity/annoyance becomes valuable, y’know?
about the friends part: making friends irl is hard! i have online friends and it’s easier to like. distance myself if need be, but maybe i’m doing that too much… i’ll have to unpack that someday and not in a comment section lol.
Judging from the 14k views…you are not alone with this! I feel it all the time, and I live in England, where no one makes eye contact with each other, and the only thing anyone says is “sorry” 😭😭 I enjoy drawing with my friend, but with some artists, there’s the feeling of competitiveness in the air (especially with professionals), so the idea of going to art class is scary lol.
I haven't had art friends since I was literally a child (which wasn't hard back then because a lot of middle schoolers still love drawing and hanging out) and I miss it so much. Where are all the adult art friends :(
making art friends was SO HARD which is why i started my art discord server and it's been so much easier TOT
ALSO I love your styleeee !!!
You’re art style is so pretty, I love it! And the video editing is very clean and entertaining ❤
I feel this so much!! Been in my arts degree program for almost two years now and I’ve really only made a couple friends, lots of nice people though! Hang in there💖💖💖💖
while watching this I thought "ART GANG GO!"
I relate so much to this. I don’t go to an art school, yet… but online i just csnt get friends like it feels like i am phsycially unable to somehow. Once ever blue moon i findna nice person we talk for a day and then never speak again. For me to get friends we need to like. CLICK yk… ot needs to work somehow
the loud latino household is sooo real
For real and it sucks
Im greatful my two high school best friends have always shared an interest in art. Other than them, it really hard to find more art friends. It's been 10 years since i graduated and I have not made any new art friends still. Maybe crafting but not drawing 😓
This hits so hard.
If you want my advice, from someone who's been through this sorta thing with art school and not "finding your tribe" in a way. Look to those who influence you, whether they're a musician / artist / whatever the heck. , do they have a community of people?
If yes, JOIN IN!
You'll all have something in common there and you might meet some amazing friends too! And don't just keep it to one community, branch out!
You won't regret it, I promise! :)
I think with online friends, you just have to find the right people. I have an amazing group of animation and digital art friends. We all met because of a shared inspiration and just hit it off from there. Give it time and don't stop trying to put yourself out there. I'm sure you'll make friends in no time!
Meeting on smaller creators platforms does wonders too. You can find a lot of new people on smaller platforms
Good luck on your friendship journey, ha!
Live the videos very engaging. Glad this popped up on my timeline.
Enjoy being a kid but make sure your roadmap to adulthood is well and good, call your real friends, and dont make enemies, and avoid COVID you'll get through this, you will.
Hey art school grad here!
I think the best advice I can give is to be "out there" without directly targeting anyone. What I mean by that is host events, clubs, host parties (even if it's just a pizza meet up through late night studio hours) I *100* understand how tricky it is when most artists just want to stay to themselves or in their small friend groups. If you can't fit in those, it's better to be the "all-rounder" acquaintance that at least helps makes your time in art school easier. I had a hard time making art school friends until the end of my senior year, but running a club and 'being the one to bring food' during those late studio hours definitely wins you a few social brownie points.
Best of luck in the wild world that is art school!
This video made me wanna be your friend so bad tho. Your personality is so charming! 💖
Perhaps the way is not necessarily to start a friendship over art, as there are a lot of people who are protective, combative, competitive or just extremely sensitive about their art. It's like taking out your vagus nerve and walking around with it seeing if anyone wants to bang them together and see if it hurts the same.
Maybe there are gaming groups? Some type of non-curriculum clubs or groups? Or events of some type?
My brief experience with school was very similar, though I went in my early 30s. I was very excited about being in a class with people and everyone could tell and avoided me like the plague.
At my job, I have found that the only people I've found to talk to are the people who sort of refused to not be talked to. For whatever reason, they just decided to have a conversation and I was trapped so I couldn't run away the same way those people at school ran from me.
Felt. But your art is so cute and I love it so much!!
I don’t have many art friends either. I have a few, but all of them are online. Pretty much all my friends are online, artists and non artists alike. I hope to find my people, and my friend group IRL someday, I just don’t know where to go or look.
You're not the only one lol, making friends in uni is harder than locating the pituitary gland in the human brain.
As a Latino with a soccer obsessed dad, that’s very true
i just graduated from art school and i was really shy and didnt have many friends until my late junior/ early senior yr when i became more friendly because i got tired of not having friends there. idk how far along u are in college or if your school has a lot of collaborative classes/projects. i was an animation major and working on films is how i met a lot of my friends. i also made some friends by just being bold and talking to them, they were usually friends of friends but if i knew they were working on a film, i'd bring up their film. its rly tough approaching people like that, but it was worth it imo.
your art is super cute and i wish u luck with the rest of college!! ur going to do great, i hope u make some awesome friends along the way
Ur style is so soft and nostalgic omg
0:44 It is exactly the same with my parents, lol.
Nice video tho
What’s pretty ironic and a little funny I saw someone tweet this exact feeling and a bunch of artists said they feel the same way but what I didn’t see in the comments were them saying hey why don’t we be friends or artmoots since we both want artist friends. So that’s a good question, how do you become friends with artists?
5:00 DUDE I FEEL THIS SO HARD. Like, I get it, we all have our lives, and we are busy, but it makes me feel so self-conscious that sometimes you have to be the one to contact everyone and it sucks! It makes me feel like they don't care or that I bother them, and I understand that it might be an irrational fear but still
It's worse if your local culture is super competitive. Like to a radioactively toxic extent.
Too many people are overly snobby here and refuse to share the spotlight because there's literally no room for more local artists. So that means they don't want unpopular art friends.
Your videos are perfect!! ❤ I love the amount of effort you put into your animations 🫶 don’t worry you’re not alone with the artist thing, if you want we can be friends! I just started an art channel here but you seem way more experienced then me 😂 btw I’m Latina as well so I completely understand you 💅💅
God I understand this. I have a hard time making friends and I’m only in highschool. I so understand being envious of others that are making connections because for me it feels near impossible. I have an anxiety disorder so it makes it hard. I’ve been talking more often to others, which is good, however I’m still awkward 😭 it’s quite foreign to me that people can small talk and make connections without overthinking it
Sorry for the rant. What I want you to know is that this video is appreciated because I feel less alone on this subject now
I would love to make more art friends Ive always wanted to do collabs and art challenges with other people also I feel like it'd help me be more motivated to try new things ❤️❤️❤️
Ive heard so much about art mutuals over on instagram, but whenever i find a post where people gather to become mutuals i cant bring myself to post anything! Making art with other people sounds like so much fun, but it makes me so nervous for some reason. Id kill to talk about oc’s with someone or share my art with them, but theres so many horror stories about tracers and art thieves!
Omg another Chicago Artist? YAY But no it is hard to make friends online, you really have to both be on the same wave and whatnot but it’s possible! I’m self taught but I wanted to go to SAIC but this was my fear cause one of my friends said people were very to themselves and their circles and I was like damn 😀
I may not be in art school yet (rising senior), but I’d love to be friends or art mutuals here on youtube! :D
You seem like an awesome person to talk to, and I feel like we have a lot in common with our love for roblox and art, since we both want to jumpstart an art career! :D
We could also support eachother here on youtube! 🙌✨
Sorry if this is a bit of an awkward introduction, I’m not the greatest with words, but I really do look forward to seeing more content from you, and hope you succeed in persuing art now and in the future! :)
I can kind of relate lol. I feel that I’m not really included in my friend group anymore because I have different interests than them and I don’t get to talk about the things I like much. They used to like some of the things I like but now they don’t have the same interests as me and so I really want to get to know new people because I feel so alone. I can’t bear being this way anymore!! 😭😭 Everyone is drifting away from me and I feel like I am alone on a little ice berg. I’m in desperate need for new besties in my life….☹️😭
This video made me cry

"Well kensy if you can't make friends at school why not make friends online?"
*_"THAT'S EVEN WO-" *wifi lags*_*
Real shit man just want some art friends 😔
though i'm not in art school its like this in uni 😭 i don't live on campus so i rarely go which is kinda my fault for being lazy but also travelling costs... in this economy.... I did join a discord chat for artists in my uni but most of the people who talk on there already seem to know each other so it's super awkward to talk to them
I had a totally different experience! I dont go to art school, but some times I walk around my local art campus and it's not hard to make small talk. I had the impression that art people were alot more extroverted then regular people. I live in the city though, so that probably changes how people act. It's interesting to hear another's experience :)
Though, it's alot easier to make friends with people by going to school everyday, and for LOOONG hours. Trauma bond by finishing assignments at school with classmates LOL
I’m not a Latino but I get having loud parents. My mom is usually the one making all the noise, Instagram on max volume, watching tv where I can hear the characters talking from across the house, and eating loudly. Whenever I have my door closed she just barges right in with no warning, and whenever I close it again she gets upset. She’ll also ask who I’m talking to and just look at me when I’m filming a video which is so annoying. She also talks to my dad extremely loud to the point I’ll start to tear up bc I just want some peace and quiet, and she won’t even let me close my door either.
Olis! Me encanto tu arte y este video! Me senti identificadisima de cuando yo fui a la uni de arte! Y si 100% estoy deacuerdo que los profes de arte se empiezan a amargar desde el colegio, lmao! XD Sigue adelante!
