>Sometimes they actually want to be making other kinds of art but did what they think would get them popularity, and the displeasure grew til it exploded.
Happened to me and got a normal job not soon after lol. Though I have less time for it now, drawing and practicing is more enjoyable when you don't have to worry about trends and fake numbers.
I don't experience dread and anxiety anymore when sitting in front of my tablet, or when I fuck up a drawing, or when I get stuck. I honestly wanted to quit art for good, but I guess I will always have the urge to create in my heart.

I recommend to never start drawing for money instead of passion. It hurts me to know that I can't make a living doing what I love, but I think preserving this love to create is more important than making rent through art.

I'm thinking of posting on social media by the end of the year under the same name again, drawing with a healthier mindset, and drawing the things I've actually wanted to draw from the beginning.
Godspeed to you all who might experience something similar. We're all gonna make it in our own unique ways.
