a generalization of what i and most other artists experience constantly, it’s happened like 3 or 4 times in the past two days and wow had to get this out

ARTISTS ARE ACTUALLY NORMAL PEOPLE JUST LIKE YOU, PUBLIC IS SHOCKED

Because yeah that seems to happen from time to time. We´re not machines.

I don’t know if it just happened to be this way, but I’m just gonna assume it was a little hint by the artist, but notice how unlike the Excessively Modest and Overzealous people are hiding the “YOU” on their shirts, while the Casual one keeps it out in the open.

I have a feeling I’ve come across as overzealous before, and for that I truly apologize.

I’ve had the excessively modest and overzealous types perceive my discomfort with some sort of rejection and its really awkward.

Personal opinion, but a lot of the people in the first two categories are not neurotypical. As someone with crippling anxiety, it took me a LONG time to find comfort in being casual around strangers. Sometimes, it’s still hard.

And as an artist, I find it somewhat pretentious the amount of “etiquette rules” that get shared around for talking to artists. I don’t want people that talk to me to stress about etiquette. OP may have the “best interests” in mind with this tutorial, but it goes the other way, too. If you’re an artist with an “obsessive” or “self-depricating” fan, consider they might be nervous? Shy? They might be autistic, have ADHD, or they might just be at their first convention and super excited? Give people the benefit of the doubt.
