I wish people would be upfront when they don’t want to be friends with me.
I was trying to commission an artist I wanted to be friends with (from a different website) and they’d only reply if it was about the art. When I mentioned that I’m not the best at texting because of my autism, they said “you don’t have to keep sending me messages! You can just add the info at checkout.”
Regardless of intention, that hurt my feelings. In the future I won’t try to be friends with artists I’m commissioning unless they genuinely want to. They’re trying to run a business after all.
