Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : So I was chatting with her last night and she sent me a picture of something she had drawn. She had said in previous pictures that she couldn't quite get the eyes right. So I said that her current drawing has improved and the facial placements look better. In response she said I was being rude and that saying that she was getting much better was patronising because she didn't ask for an opinion and it makes it sound like she's not very good. She said she gets a bit touchy about her art and regretted not pursuing a career on it. And when people criticise it, she doesn't need it.

I apologised for if it came off as negative as it wasn't what was intended, but thinking back on it, is it really my problem if someone is touchy about something? And especially if she criticised her own drawings to begin with. I don't know, I just think it was uncalled for and she made the worst assumption. She did say afterwards that it's hard to interpret what messages mean but I'm sure that could be taken the wrong way in person.

Thoughts?
