yesterday i had like a graduation fashion show??? i don’t know. i’ve been going to these classes of like fashion design, and yesterday we had our show. it’s not my first time taking these classes, i decided to experiment with colors this time and made like a collection of three outfits inspired by cabaret and politics in my country.
it was a mess, because somehow the pants i made for this girl turned out too big on her and another outfit turned out to be too small for the model. everything had to be pinned down to them. i was also so afraid to ask them to be my models because they’re actually fashion design students. i was upset but i still liked some of the photos somewhere deep in my heart. i made a post with these photos and one of my friends (the most talented one). asked me why make up and models was so ugly. and made a joke about one of my outfits (i think he’ll make another one)
i know my make up wasn’t the best, but i don’t know. i can’t stop crying over this. i was so afraid to post it because i knew that he’s not gonna like it. and i’m just so hurt and i know that i could do better or idk. but i just wish he didn’t say anything at all. because i can see my own mistakes and just why be so cruel. i wish i didn’t post this at all or even didn’t attend the show. and i don’t know who to talk this about because my friends will say nice things to me but they don’t understand how i feel and how important his opinion is to me. my other friend who might understand also didn’t like the makeup but he wasn’t rude about it. and my teacher will say something good but it’s only because she’s my teacher, because she says good stuff to all of her students regardless of their results. i’m just so upset and i want to delete the post but it’ll just show him that his words got under my skin
i can’t stop crying and no one’s support will be helpful

Re: i can’t stop crying and no one’s support will be helpful
Ugh, I'm sorry this friend of yours is making you feel horrible, PomPom 
It's definitely a jerk move from him to negatively criticize and make fun of your hard work. There are better ways to share their opinion on the outfits you designed, even if they weren't the most positive, and this isn't one of them. Especially since it seems like you didn't ask for his opinion specifically.
Since you posted this, has he said other hurtful things to you about your designs? I'm also wondering if there's anything that makes you view his opinion as more important than those of others, such as your other friends and your teacher.
