I have been drawing for a while but when it comes to making an instagram or a facebook page I freak out. I have a medical condition that makes me very socially isolated. My greatest fear is that the people who know me irl and know about my condition will find my art pages and mock me. My second greatest fear is that I am not that good and I won't get followers or likes.
How do people get over these fears?
just do it faggot

You gotta give us more context here. What do you draw? The worst people can do is make fun of you but beyond that nobody really cares. Everyone has their own lives to live and insecurities to deal with.
What is this medical condition and why would anyone mock you for it? Are you talking about being autistic or being trans? I know I am going out on a limb here but it's just a vibe I got, because idk why anyone would mock you for a physical medical condition under the context of your art, so I am assuming it's a psychiatric condition.

Both of these tell me that you're caring way too much about what other people think. You should focus on getting good at whatever you want to do, because at the end of the day you're going to have to do you anyway.
I used to be the same but then I realise that I need to get feedback on my work and the more you do it the less of a fuck you give about people. Do it for you and fuck everyone else.

im not trans. its a skin condition combined with mental issues that make me act weird in public. a lot of the people i used to know think im a freak so i dont want them fining my online trying to project myself as an artist while knowing that im a loser irl.

People get over these fears by not being a sissy faget.

Have you considered doing what a lot of people are doing, which is getting a pen name?

jesus christ anon nobody is ever going to think that. "he's trying to be cool online when he's a quack in real life!!" says no one ever. Actually, they'll find that you draw and you'll appear more multidimensional and human to them unless you're drawing MLP ponies jacking eachother off or something. If they make fun of you for being mentally ill and kick you down further by making fun of your art, they're shitbags that you don't want in your life anyway.
just draw under a pseudonym, there's billions of artists out there, there's virtually no chance anyone in RL will find you unless you're stupid and tell everyone.

You can overcome this by just fucking doing it
Build some self worth anon. I know it hard as fuck. I'm still working on mine, But it can be a life changer. Also, are you getting professional help with being socially isolated?
