If you start at 25 you're already tired inside, so the same amount of work will seem titanic. Add to this that it's hard to keep your enthusiasm when you know that high schoolers are better than you.
Also if you start your social medias in 2019 at 25, and considering that most pros have been around for 10, even 15 years to get a public, you're looking at getting some patreon funding when you're in your mid 40s.
And chances are you started drawing because you have a depressive / solitary personality, so you don't function too well. This is why you made this thread. Artists that make it are healthy artists, full of spirit and joy, and they have a social life. They are smart and positive.
