also please don't compliment me by insulting yourself!! it hurts my heart to hear that my art has made you feel worse about your own stuff. it's honestly a worse insult than any actual insult

Your art inspired me to keep at mine 💕

genuinely, people have tried to do this to me and in the past it made it so hard to create, if what i made brought people down like that.

oh god yeah i cant deal with thatoh god yeah i cant deal with that

Top tier psychic damage all-timer for artists. I heard this so often in primary and secondary school I stopped sharing art

Same, it makes me so sad when people do this!!

I think we all did this as a new artist at least once. It took me a long time to break that habit. Complimenting yourself like "I'm a good artist" also has a "brag" or "self important" kinda vibe still but it's gotten better over time. Being proud of yourself and saying so is perfectly fine!

I share the same feelings. I want my art to inspire others and overall have fun not make people feel bad...

British sky told me this is humility and a cultural thing there. But iiiiiddddkkkk.....
