This happens to me every time these events pop up. People start offering freebies and I think it sounds really neat but I'm too intimidated to go in! Or I'll go in and there's so many people begging, I feel like I don't want to bother anyone, so I just leave without posting. Even on a forum where people are trying to throw free things at me, I don't get any because I'm too shy sometimes! So I never end up getting free anythings. ^_^;;

Does this happen to anyone else? I'd feel even dumber if I'm the only one too timid to try and get a free sketch.

I feel the same way about freebie threads T^T I'm always too shy to ask cause I figure they're too swamped with orders already. *hugs* you're not the only one.

Oh good. I feel kinda silly for being so timid on the internet. It's not like anyone knows. But...that's just how it is! *hugs*

I feel the same way in certain occasions. Most of the time I wont bother with any of it.

Yeah. And things can move so fast, it's hard to keep up with anything. I'm just a big old chicken I guess. ^_^;;

Heh, you should try a charity thread on Gaia. One like [-Kay-] has if she's still running it. Threads like that LITERALLY FLY 50 pages per hour. Probably within a shorter amount of time than that. I tried, it's difficult. Even the fastest of threads on here can be considered turtle-slow compared to that xD But yeah, I still get what you mean :p

I tend to stay out of the general forums on Gaia. They're too full of stupid. >_> I can't keep up with those super fast threads. I can think of better things to do with my time than try to beg free stuff out of people.

I felt the same way about those forums actually. I only went in them to make friends :p It worked, for the most part. But stuff like that is what made me quit. Mene is more fun due to its slower pace. I prefer it.

Every once in a while--if it seems pretty quiet--I'll go in. But not very often. I do frequently feel like I don't want to make them do more art--especially because I tend to get overwhelmed by art requests whenever I get them. I know the feeling; I don't want to add to their potential frenzy.

Also, there are so many threads..... I feel like I'll go in one, they won't get to it until tomorrow, and by then I'll have forgotten which thread it was specifically.

I like the slower pace and the longer discussions...actual discussion as opposed to constant "bump! LOLOLOLOL!" Ugh -_- I still like Gaia for the most part, but I stick to the places I like and avoid the rest. ^_^;;

Here, I'm slowly working my way all over the place...well, except for the freebie threads. #>_>#

I am exactly the same way, I adore art~! And there are so many wonderful artists, but I am to shy I think to go in and ask for it. Even when it's being offered for free. You are not alone :gonk:

Yep, I've never had any artwork done. Not even by my artist friends. I make their buttons and banners and...well, that's it. I make their buttons and banners and I've never had artwork done. Irony. x_X

I finally got up the courage to post a comment on a freebie thread and I haven't heard back, so now I'm like "I knew they were busy! I shouldn't have bugged them! Crap! *sends self on silly guilt trip*"

None on Gaia. None ever...anywhere ^_^;;;
Yes it is.
D= Thank you!

Man, I'm really having one of those "I am not worthy!" moments. Settle down self and stop being so self-depreciatingly annoying! ^_^;; *crawls into a corner*

Ha ha! Yeah, the big green kappa is me. I changed out of my scary prom outfit and into that. Maybe I should change into something cuter (and easier) to draw XD

Artist shock? I wouldn't want to send you into artist shock.
