I feel like every hobby I have that is uniquely mine can’t be just mine because my friend Nevaeh ALWAYS has to do what I do. And I know it shouldn’t bug me as much as it does. But I can’t help but get upset. I got into art, so did she, I made an OC for a show I like, so did she (she never even saw the show), I got into a game, so did she, and of course, I make an account for a website that I found for myself and she went and did the same thing. And every time I do something, not only does she copy but she also does it better than me. Even if I’ve been doing it longer. I hate it. But if I express it, then I’m a jerk and I’m “gatekeeping” something stupid. And it’s not that I don’t want her doing it. It’s that she only shows interest in it AFTER I get into it. And it’s that she’s better than me in less time. I spent 4 years doing art before I got to where I am. She spent a few months doing art and is where I’m at. It’s frustrating and makes me feel like I’m not good at the things I love.
