That sucks about your friend...I've always hated when people complained about their own work (and also themselves) during my arts and crafts classes in highschool. I understand that people have different views and expectations of themselves than they have of everyone else..but sometimes it just seems like they're fishing for compliments.
I usually thought I was mediocre compared to my last classes...but if someone thinks I've made something good, then I'm not going to put that down.
I'm not very satisfied with my own work.. cause i think it could be so much better... but i have no need to say that to people who says they think what i'm going is pretty. and i have no need to critizise my own work, when i know that everyone around me is worse than me. (this is not a snobbish thing.. when we have lessons with my regular class in art it's really surprising how hard it can be to control a pencil for some people)
yeah, theres a difference between having your own opinion of yourself or your work, and critizing it harshly around other people that aren't as good..it's almost as bad as if they're bragging, kinda. I guess she was looking for attention, but didn't want to come off as though she thought she was better than anyone else? I dunno..
This reminds me of when I was in 7th-10th grade, and used to hang out with these two girls that were really (really) skinny, and I was kind of chubby compared to them..and they'd look at their butts in the mirror in the girls room, complaining about how big it is..?!?!?! I'd just be like "uhhh..thanx a lot." and they'd be like "awww you're not bad at all", and I knew I wasn't, but it still felt kind of insulting. silly girls *shakes head* But if they really were that dilusional, I think it would be best not to mention it at all, so the chances of people noticing are fare less.

I'm so mad at my best friend right now I could smack her. I didn't go clubbing with her last weekend and then she got a big pissy with me. I told her that I'd go with her this weekend if not my book had arrived. My book arrived 2 days ago and so I told her I'd spend this weekend reading. She was fine with that till today where she called me up begging me to go clubbing with her anyways. She said that I couldn't possibly be serious in wanting to spend a weekend reading some stupid book; I told her that luckily that was my own business, and then she hung up on me. I mean COME ON! how childish is that? I sent her 3 long cell phone messages explaining to her that I really didn't feel like partying or even hanging out with a lot of people and that she had to respect my wishes as well as wanting me to respect her. GRRRRRRRR I'm so annoyed by her right now I could cry :( -Malou
