weird vent thing

I used to get so many things on this website back then.... points, watchers, even a PM.
But I didn't even try.
Now I really try. I've been super self-conscious about every single thing I upload, only picking the best out of everything I draw instead of uploading tons of unwanted junk (that somehow still got favs) like before.
I work really hard on these things, too, and I honestly think I've improved a lot.
I'm starting to question that though.
After getting 100 watchers within a year, I have only gained 48 watchers in double that amount of time.
I haven't gotten a single point (genuinely as an act of kindness, not just a trade) since February. 
It's not that I care about any of that stuff, it's just how I'm so frustrated that I used to get so much of it back then and none of it now. What did I do to make the caring cease? Now, I know what you're going to say: "But we do care!" If you really do, I want you to show it, and not just on this journal! Please, show your caring! Fav, comment.... anything! I know I'm probably sounding really selfish right now, but no matter what you say, as long as it's not rude, I will not be offended or ignore you or even think it's awkward ! I want to be friends with you guys! 
And no, I am not giving up on drawing. And yes, I do know that favs do not necessarily equal art quality. I just want to know that you guys care.
