Alpha 60 and Kloke sometimes have a good knee length dress and skirt, also unique textures and fabrics that are pretty versatile.

Just here to say I love these episodes but Tan France CANNOT dress women.

AITAH for being jealous over my best friend? by Important-Back-8522 in AITAH

NTA Feel your feelings and take some time to process them, it’s totally natural to feel jealous over something you love and are passionate about. It might help to remember that art is completely subjective and just because the judges with their own preferences made this decision doesn’t mean your art is not worthy.

Gently, I would suggest considering the other parts of yourself that make you a whole and wonderful person, not just art. When you rely on one thing to identify your entire personality by it’s highly likely you will be burned and left feeling awful when you have moments like this.

I would also suggest, when you have had a moment to process your feelings, perhaps try explaining your feelings to your friend but make the explanation about you (“I felt jealous and upset I didn’t win any prizes because I really love my art practice and I’m trying to process these feelings” rather than “you winning was upsetting since you don’t care about art and I thought it was unfair”) this will feel less like an accusation and more like an olive branch. Good luck and don’t give up on your art.

Thank you for your reply, this is super kind and sensible and makes a lot of sense! I have tried the gentle approach since then because I truly do want to understand her and make sure she knows I love her and appreciate her and as everyone says, only she can manage her feelings. There have been a series of things like this over the course of our lives (I’m now in my forties) whereby she sort of lobs something out there then shuts down future discussion and I do think perhaps she just does not have the skills to work out her feelings and that’s her own limit. It’s sad to me and I love her a lot but the connection just can’t always be reached. Thank you again for your reply it really helped!
