#i was just a young.. unthinking teenager when i first started ask-spiderpool...

As someone who got burned out when posting art, I think I know how you feel. I enjoy making art, and having people view my art and like it, but social media stresses me out tbh. That made me not enjoy making art that much so I stopped, gave myself a break, tried other stuff. Now I'm slowly posting stuff again, just sometimes, just when I feel like it.

So my best advice is yeah, disconnect, if you don't enjoy it step away from it for a while. There's nothing wrong with that, go play that banjo!

bless you anon! i think it's just the heartache that you know - i'm kind of here for fun and to have fun. lord knows i don't gain anything else from being here. but i do get a lot of interactions from the fun-police who make it not fun. when i'm just a guy who's here to have fun. i do it for free, and i do it for me. and i don't know, people don't know that they can so very easily just walk somewhere else and not ruin someone's day.

i know some of you have good intentions too, when you're asking me to post more – but you've got to know all these wonderful faceless entities and creators here online are just human beings. and they get tired and they feel emotions like the rest of us on this big planet.

i work in social media (and i hate it) - and i kind of know what success on social media looks like - and the fact is, i've realised that it's not what i want. to be successful on social media is a huge, huge burden to bear, and it makes a lot of people miserable. and that's not what i want for me, no sir.

i think about how much healthier my life is in other places, when i impose a decisive period of time where i don't post. and it makes me think a lot about the times peter quit spider-man. and his life is better for it.

me every time i quit spider-man

i guess i do feel a lot like peter and spider-man. spider-man doesn't know why he does all this thankless work, and gets dunked on (mr masochism) - and i guess - i guess i don't have to suffer.
