My friend is mean
Hi Reddit,
I recently told my friend in casual conversation about an artistic hobby I always wanted to try as a kid.
The hobby I wanted to try was too expensive for the family, so I never could.
She told me “why would you admit you are a wannabe”
I feel hurt that I opened up about something I always dreamed of doing and being brushed off like that.
It doesn’t help that she’s been an a-hole lately, so maybe that was just the cherry on top.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can let this dream go and not feel hurt by a comment like this?
Stepping back, this feels more about execution than intent and that’s the part people are stuck on

I get the idea, the wording alone shifts how people read this and that’s where the disagreement starts Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
Bluntly speaking, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here
Not gonna lie, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome That’s what changes the context. We’ll see how people react over time. That’s just my read on it.
If we’re being honest, this feels more about execution than intent Let’s see what happens next.
From where I sit, the timing matters more than people admit which is why the comments look the way they do
To be fair, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s where the disagreement starts Curious how this plays out. That’s the impression it gives me.
Just reading this, this feels more about execution than intent which turns this into more of a debate That part stands out. We’ll see how people react over time. At least from my perspective.
To be fair, the way this is presented changes how it lands which makes the reaction pretty predictable That’s the impression it gives me.
At this point, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s where people will push back That’s what changes the context. That’s just how it reads to me.
Real talk, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that friction is hard to ignore Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
the logic is there, but the execution is uneven which explains why reactions are split That part stands out. That’s the impression it gives me.
Stepping back, this reads stronger on paper than in practice which turns this into more of a debate

Without overthinking it, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified which is why this is getting picked apart Let’s see what happens next.
From my side, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s where it gets complicated That’s what makes this interesting. Hard to say where this lands long term. That’s the impression it gives me.
