I am a nice person, but I'm also kind of an asshole. I'm never trying to be mean. I used to be very blunt with the way I speak. I'm more reserved now, but I still "think" bluntly. I think it's most noticeable to me when I look at other people's art. If I see art that I don't like, or art from a newer artist/artist that's not at a specific "skill level", my brain tells me it's bad. Whether or not this statement is true doesn't matter. My initial thought is that it's bad. Ugly. And this initial thought rarely changes if I keep looking at the piece. With this, I find it hard to give feedback to newer artists. My go to has always been "keep going." That's as positive as I can bring myself to be. (This happens with a lot more than just art, but it's the most notable) I never want to discourage anyone from drawing, but I actively want to talk to other artists since I don't have any artistic friends. (I also have no idea how to talk to people in general but that's not the topic)
