I know I'm late to the party, but I wanted to add to this for you! It's not just value and love that comes from within, but happiness as well! I became a much happier person when I took a step outside of myself and realized that I needed to start sorta "dating myself" to even understand what I want in life. I highly recommend that everybody take time once in a while to do something alone without a screen involved and just focus on enjoying yourself. Read, write, play music, paint, hike, knit, woodwork, something that makes you feel productive and alive.
That and correcting what was apparently a pretty substantial vitamin D deficiency by taking a shitload of vitamin D supplements, anyway. Have a doctor check your blood. If it's too expensive, hello fellow American, you're almost certainly living at a latitude high enough that you should be taking vitamin D supplements lol.
On the other side of the coin, if they love you because of your art that might seem a bit parasocial. And it seems more realistic that they'd be attracted to the income that you have rather than any skill/art itself.
lots of people who aren't useless but are directly harmful don't feel this way. if you're worried about being a good person, then you're halfway there.

Don’t create to be good, create to create. Judge later if it’s good.

Your value is intrinsic and love is never earned but freely given, so here's some... loving you friend!!!

I know the art is cool and all but I like how the brush appears to be "crying"
