Sadly, this is the truth more or less. You HAVE to know people and be a bit social if you really wanna get into any kind of entertainment/cultural industry.
People won’t trust a person who can only communicate through e-mail or a chat - they wanna meet you and talk with you face-to-face.
And being able to communicate with your client is extremely important in more or less any kind of business.
I’ve heard stories of people who got rid of their social anxiety because they didn’t wanna let that ruin their dream of becoming a concept artist or a illustrator and so on.
Social Anxiety makes your whole life very hard to begin with, if you really wanna make it into the art industry - first seek professional help for your SA. That is the first and most important step.
Don’t let your problems control your life. Let your dreams and goals do it.

Are you feeling like shit? Do you start crying as soon as you think of silly little things like you didn’t take out the trash?
Before you go to your friends and relatives to whine about it, first do the following:
- Pee and poop.
- Eat food, not snacks or candy, eat FOOD.
- Take a nap. Or sleep. But not longer than 7-8 hours.
- Take a bath, or a shower.
- Drink water.
After going through these, go check how you feel.
If you feel better, then you have just been grumpy and whiny and just needed some energy.
If you still feel like shit, then you are sad and need a big hug and comfort as medicine.
