Me: -shows a friend/someone a drawing I did-
Them: *looking at it, marvels it, gives me a look*
Me: -before they say anything- "Don't. It really isn't. And no, no one ever does. I get looked over, and I hate false hope."
Them: "W...what are you talking about?"
Me: "And I quote..." -in an upbeat tone- "Oh this looks amazing. Do you sell your art? I bet you get people always buying your stuff! You must get a lot of commissions?!" =.=
Them: "B..but...it's not..not true is it?"
Me: -in an upbeat tone again- "Oh no. Yea because I totally help around the house financially, post art almost everyday, and never complain about having money to buy supplies.
"
Them: "......you're just being sarcastic.."
Me: "You wish."
