Why do people get upset or offended when the truth is told to them? I am one of them

Like say someone speaks their mind, even if their brutally blunt to them and hurt their feelings. My friend told me my drawing was pathetic and nobody is going to want to buy it when it’s crap. That hurt my feelings so bad and I didn’t even ask for her opinion. My best friends is very blunt and brutally honest and tells it like it is and doesn’t even consider people’s feelings.

No one wants to buy my drawings either and I've always been pretty much average at best at everything. The key to getting better is consistency. Read about any artist, many faced harsh criticism. It's just normal for people to like or dislike something. I for one appreciate an honest friend. Isn't it better knowing you can improve rather than being hyped up for nothing?
Without criticism there is no growth.
It's natural to be upset. It's fine. You have all the right to feel hurt, as long as you do yourself a favor and practise resilience!! It will help you grow! 🤗

@assemblingaknob So you’re on her side? So she has the right to say that my drawing is pathetic?

@AutismGirl18 I'm not on anyone's side. 🙄 I literally don't even know y'all. The point is, life is bigger than her opinion or my opinion, so you can always delete my response if you don't find it appropriate. Just keep doing what you do. Ask multiple people for feedback. Or none at all if it doesn't sit well with you. Or just start marketing and ask for reviews. It's the most unbiased way to get criticism.
