How do artists deal with the loneliness of the craft? How did the old masters do it?

I joined a bunch of active discords that i never visit so the little notification bleep reminds me that there's people being active around, even if its in an abstract way. It's gay and depressing as a concept but it works.
Youtube videos or twitch streams help me with that. If I have 0 connections to the outside world I get a bad feeling.

>>3083369

>>3083378

>>3083386

ive seen my landlord (7X) literally beg a younger man not to go through with marriage.
Youre fucking retarded if you think marriage is a good idea with courts that overwhelmingly favor women and love to throw out your prenups.
by being an unpaid gigolo and getting all your energy from pleasuring women when you're not drawing
>>3083328
you develop an affinity for the work, like literally your brain starts to art as a social thing, not like the girl your drawing is talking to you or something dumb like that, but like rather than you thinking something like 'i need to draw this line like this' you think to think of it in terms of what the art wants. it sound super weird typing it out but it's a thing, in other fields too, a professional chess player and a programmer have both mentioned it to me in relation to their professions too.
>>3083328
I just try to talk to someone, even better if it's not a family member.
I think old masters just used to fuck whores a lot

>implying they wasted time with succubi
People become masters by discipline and resolve. If you can't even manage 1 hour without feeling lonely you're NGMI.

This isn't how it works in eastern europe. Only property which has been aquired after marriage is split. You basicaly keep whatever you had before + half of what was aquired after marriage.

it works that way everywhere except dumb america where they refuse to do any legal reform ever. i'm surprised they even have no-fault divorces there.

>i'm surprised they even have no-fault divorces there.
it makes some people a lot of money. from the lawyers to the state, to the corporations that benefit from an individuals tendencies to spend following lump sum payments, to the costs of splitting a household (living space and utilities), the rich get richer and the poor/middle class pays the price.
