Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I’ve been a part of a small group of friends for a couple years now, but I feel as though we aren’t as equal anymore.

There are 3 of us and we all share an undying passion for art. I usually refrain for caring much about others’ artwork unless I’m critiquing something as I feel that indulging other’s art can be harmful on feeling of self-worth and motivation, but because these are my friends, I give input on them a lot. Recently, I’ve been shown some incredible stuff from both of them -I still manage to give input on proportions or design choices, but it gets tougher and tougher each time. I’m happy for them as I know they are very passionate about what they do, but there’s this underlying feeling of frustration and fear.

I’m not frustrated at my friends, more so at myself for not improving as much as them or as quick. Both of them improve immensely as I’m left in their dust- hitting an invisible wall that they’ve crossed, but I can’t. I’ve contacted one friend about the situation I’m in and she says that there’s nothing wrong with what I’m feeling and that my thoughts are valid, but I’m still indifferent on her conclusion. 

For this one in particular, the title would be more fitting as “Am I *an* asshole” instead of “Am I *the* asshole”.

I’m happy to clear anything up if needed.
