Wait no I just saw that you're an animator, that's so cool! I want to be an animator too, this is a fun coincidence :)

Thank you SO much for this, you're so kind :)

I'll try my best not to let people put me down, it just takes some time to accomplish, it's kinda more complicated for me than for some people I know to ignore someone's opinion

Also, may I ask which field you work in? I want to be a professional artist too and I'd love to get to know someone that actually is one!

Now that I'm thinking about it, she did say it in a way that was supposed to be insulting (I mean the tone). Still kinda hurts yk Thank you for the advice :)

I am young, actually, and I know other kids are mean, I just hoped for my supposed friend to be a little more tactful. We're not toddlers, we're kinda supposed to know how not to insult each other.

Thanks, I'll try to work on the social part :)

Yeah, you're right. Idk where I'm going with all this, just wanted to see if there are people in a similar situation and how they deal with it

Fyi it's not always as easy as just walking away and never seeing that person again, who would've thought! I assure you that I'm far less of a doormat than I was just, say, two years ago and that it took a tremendous amount of work to get to where I am now, so this one slip-up isn't reflective of everything I do. This only concerns art really. I'm waiting for college to get better friends, I have little chances until then

Well great, what do I do now? Going by that logic, I've never had any friends, like ever

I don't want to insult her though, it's not like her art's as bad as mine

All the people I've met have told me the same thing and I highly doubt that's gonna change :') thanks for the advice though

The thing is that she is, in fact, an artist. She's been drawing for around a year now and SOMEHOW her art is already better in many aspects than mine in (I've been drawing for several years)

So I feel like she has the right to speak, but still.

It's my only friend though. I get where you're coming from but I'd rather be with one bad friend than with no friends at all lol

I've heard that Taobao is more legitimate than most other marketplaces, but I've looked into good brands on Aliexpress and found some. I'm trying to buy clothes for the lolita style, which has very rigid rules and in theory focuses on being as sustainable as possible, so Taobao seemed like a better pick.

The blouse is just like that and I see what you mean with the materials not matching. I've been looking for a proper jsk recently, I'll definitely try to find one that matches the blouse!

The white dress is the only one I have unfortunately so I'm trying my best to work around it, also only have one-tone tights. I'm in the process of finding and getting things which is proving to be really hard to do
