I think we need to start a club of people who are shy about this! Then artists can come in and woo us out of out money XD

Well wasashu, I would do that, but I can't draw! I wouldn't want to rip anyone off by giving them some crappy doodle by me T_T

>w< sometimes i'm shy, and it's hard for me to come up with anything to say. i guess people who give out freebies in their threads is a gamble at times for me. sometimes it depends on how long you stay to chat or if they like an avi. oh well~

I get really shy when I'm around artists that I admire.. and don't really know. hehe. So most of the time, I lurk. ^_^ Then when I actually meet the artist and talk, they'd bring up a past issue, and I'd say, "Oh yeah! I read that before in your other thread."

Then they'd think I'm stalking them. o_o

So.. I try not to.. get so shy. xD

Even on the internet the shy people have trouble. #>_># I guess we just need to try a little harder to put out foot out and not faint when talking to people ^_^;; Not that I've ever fainted when talking to people, but for some people, it's really hard!

Aww! If I could draw, I'd totally give you a freebie! Mmm, I can't draw, but if you wanted a little banner in your signature, I could do that ^_^ I'm fairly decent with my graphics program, as long as I'm not drawing.

For me? I'd love one if it wasn't any trouble. ^_^

ya thats why when i do a freebie thread i alway smake
sure to tell everyone that everyone who comes in gets free art.
i dont like to make people feel left out.
it makes me feel bad.

not cool enough.
its like the whole thing is unbalanced.

Most don't draw anyone but the people the talk to the most.
It's like posting in threads just for the chat. They will skip your hello
for just the people they keep in their click.

I only add people so that I can find them if I need to.
I just don't need to most of the time though.

I only add people to my list if we're actually friends, or we've talked for a while. If later on, we never talk again, I take them off. I'm not big on cliques. I just like having friends. ^_^ I try not to ignore people because I know what it's like to be ignore. It sucks!

That how I was at first about free art.

Then I thought to myself, if they like giving out freebies, they like to do this for fun.

I tried it myself and then I can see why. I really like doing avatars and to see people light up when they get some art.

Don't worry, you're DEFINITELY not the only one who feels that way. I've never entered one of those freebie threads...they scare me. D:

Maybe that's just because I suck at idly chatting, though.

Hey Sakura!!!!

I only have about 5 real true friends on my gaia list. All the others are who I chat with but they have no interest in ever being friends past that.

Fullmetal Phantom: It can be intimidating! Especially if everybody knows each other and is just chatting away! Then I just quietly exit without saying a word. Sometimes people can be welcoming, but little groups have a tendency to shut out newcomers. It sucks.

Annex: Almost everyone on my Gaia list is someone that I interact with almost daily. We don't really hang out on Gaia together, but we're friends. That's how I like to keep my friend lists you know. When people randomly try to friend me on Gaia, I always decline.

It does help a lot. ^_^ An here they accept your invite to befriend them easily. -nods-


Cookie, well most are either in my guild there or they visit my threads. We just never consider each other as friends.

Haha, there was a real orchid hiding in your signature. XD

*ahem* Anyway, yeah, I know what you mean. It just feels like you're intruding on something unless you've been invited...which is no fun. T_T If people are chatting about something I actually really like, then once in a while, I find myself able to jump in...but it doesn't happen much.

My conversation skills suck. XD

Heh, would it okay if I input a little thought from an artist's point of view? :sweat:

I really like to make things fair by drawing a variety of people; I love making people happy. Every now and then, I'd draw "hit-and-runners" to prove to people that you don't have to make conversation to get a piece of art. Mainly, it's because I don't... I don't have great conversation-skills myself. XD

I draw people who chat, and I draw people who don't. So, I'm kinda neutral.. eh?

So yeah, I'm reading your posts and think, "That's not true! XD" but then realized it ranges from artist to artist. :3
