like when i was younger, i wanted to be a writer. but then, if what i love becomes a chore because i was forced to produce like a book or two a year, i dunno how i'd feel about that....8u

Yeah, that is a thing that's crossed my mind.
I'd like to make money off of my art but I don't want art to be my job xD

Yes exactly. Like if the only way to earn money is to do commissions you don’t want to do, like its a chore or its WORK, i wouldn’t enjoy it at all. 8u

It'd be nice to earn money with my art, though u,8
I've never been someone that's like "I like my art and that's all that matters!"
I like when other people like my art...

Well i think that liking your own art is also important. I mean, if you get a paid commission to draw something you do not like or something, are you still going to force yourself to do it? Thats why you should find a balance between liking your art and having other people like your art too. XD sure, customer is sometimes king but i think its harder to adjust when it comes to something that is artistic.

I think it would be a great option for you, though.
I mean, with your agoraphobia you are kinda limited regarding the kind of careers you may pursue, and being an artist is definetely one of them!

I mostly feel indifferent to my art. I like making it but nothing impresses me. It's like "Yup. That's my art. Anyways."
I'm so scared of trying to talk to people about commissions and making art for money.
Money seems to complicate everything.

Indeed money complicates everything.
But it's so damn useful!

You can always do it through a site. Like redbubble or something. People can choose to buy your art or not and you won’t have to speak to anyone. :)

I should be making a new page next month with Patron support.
It wasn't cringy! I read some during breaktime at work!
@Moi you could try to make a shop at etsy too! I feel like then if people dont like the price they wouldnt just order. It cuts out all discussion about prices
