My dad's trying to force me into showing his brother and sister in law my drawings. At first he was pretty chill about it and only said it as a suggestion, but now he's getting really frustrated and angry about it.
I mean, i suppose i could understand if he's 'proud' of me, but i'm not comfortable showing them my drawings, or not confidant enough. My dad should of caught onto that and let me be, but now, he had to raise his voice about it and get me close to tears in front of the whole family.
Trying to make a point saying "Well you put all your art online for strangers to see, but you won't show your family?", ok yes i can kinda see the confusion there. But it's hard for me to explain why it's different.
Guess he hadn't thought that maybe i wanted a little privacy for some of my drawings? I'm still bloody learning, so i don't particularly want people to see my practise stuff. Plus my aunt Chrissy is very artistic and that makes me 10x more nervous.
Again, maybe he's just quite 'proud' and wants the fam to see what he sees in my stuff, but different people have different perspectives. He says often "I wasn't nearly as good at your age", i'm just assuming he says that to make me feel better, but even so, that doesn't really boost my confidence, but it does give me a little hope for improving and such.
I dunno, i just needed to let it out. He confuses me sometimes....
