I'm not going to say that I know your art is good because I haven't seen it, and that would be meaningless. Do you feel proud of your art? Great! Then you should keep doing it! It's okay if your art isn't up to the standards of a professional artist, or even if you don't think it's as good as other people's art. It'll get better the more you do it, and more than that, it's okay whether it's "good" or not. Whether art is "good" is really rather subjective, and it's beside the point. You should keep doing art because you enjoy it, and you shouldn't stop doing it just because someone said something rather rude and hurtful about your passions. In fact, you should maybe tell your friend that what she's saying is mean and ask her to stop critiquing your artwork.

I'm sorry to say that I can't help with your second confession because I have basically no experience with crushes... sorry! 

Thank you, Kitten. Unfortunately, I think I accidentally deleted the second sentence of your comment. Please resubmit it, if it's important. Sorry!

Ok, sending bad vibes to the friend that doesn't like your art via brain waves right now. I'm not sorry.
About your art, don't take what they said to heart. As my own worst critic, even with all the judging I've done to my own art, I've persued it because it's something I like to do. I love my art. I know I can't replicate the Mona Lisa, and that's okay. If your art makes you happy, stick with it.

Well, idk about the second thing because no one's ever had a crush on me (to my knowledge) but...

OKAY THAT "FRIEND" is being sooo jerky right now. We should come up with a CB-appropriate name that everyone can use as an insult. Anyways, like Kitten, I'm not going to just say that your art is awesome bc I don't know what it looks like, but if you like it you should keep going. Keep practicing! I think if you anonymously submitted a piece of artwork on the CB and you asked for advice, tons of people would come and give their two cents. Also, please. If that friend keeps hurting you (mentally) like this, do something. Ignore them, avoid them, tell a teacher, do something to keep you safe and happy.

I'm really sorry to hear that. I don't have any experience with misophnia, but I know I stinks to have someone act like they care and then completely ignore something. I hope this gets better for you.

I actually have misophonia, too! The sounds that trigger me the most (and believe me, I get grossed out, even, when I start hearing these things) are metal on metal, anything clinky, and...*sigh* paper rustling. 

Tell your dad that you are seriously being grossed out or something. *winces* I feel you. My family has an annual dinner, and there's alot of glasses clinking, sometimes I have to lock myself up in my room, put on earphones and blast music on them, then start drawing, in order to stop hearing the sounds. 

I also have insomnia, am seriously not feeling good about myself right now, and I'm nonbinary, so yeah! Always remember that you are blessed by others around you. 

Maybe that came out as rude, but I didn't intend it to. If it was rude, I am so sorry, and I apologize. 

I also have a friend who has trypophobia so me and my friends have to be extremely careful when posting pictures.

I'm kind of similar! At night, I will act out scenes where I'm a sidekick with the main character (like Harry Potter) and help them out go on adventures. Or I'll make something up like I'm trapped with someone and we have to escape.

@LikeI'mTelling I love pretending to meet my favorite book characters too!!! Actually when I was younger I literally used to spend most of the day pretending I was in my favorite books/movies/tv shows. And I still do it sometimes to get through like a really hard school day or something 

@LikeI'mTelling, same! At night when I'm trying to fall asleep, I imagine myself as the sidekick of my favorite character, or sometimes even that character. At one point, I think I was Percy Jackson going to Hogwarts and then I had to save the character in the book I'm writing. I also have imaginary friends, and I talk to myself a lot. Sometimes at night I just say, "go to sleep!" "I'm not tired" "still go to sleep" (later) "let me go to sleep be quiet STOP BEING SO LOUD GET THAT SONG OUT OF MY HEAD" out loud. And hen sometimes I'm alone and just tell myself everything I'm thinking.
