True, and I agree with the specifics of what you said :) But the *context* made it seem like you thought the person you retweeted was advocating staying in a comfort zone and glorifying their own style over others, and that's not what they said, either.

This is the reasoning that I criticize, not the person and even less her tastes.

I've experienced both teachers who were kind and wanted me to branch out to improve myself, and teachers who weren't kind and tried to convince me that my influences were worthless. I think it's reasonable to be angry at those unkind teachers, and valuable to prove them wrong.

There are still young artists out there who are faced with constant criticism for simply bringing their own influences into the classroom, and they need to hear both "branch out to improve" AND "be true to yourself, your teachers are wrong".

Do you purposely read half of what I say? :) It was just an advice for people who take too seriously the comment of stupid teachers.pic.twitter.com/0Mp3dTIx8v

I did read, I promise! :) I think you're just downplaying how much "some stupid teachers" can affect people. Sometimes a spirit of revenge can help you remember what you love, even WHILST you branch out and learn.

I think separating your art from your ego is a great idea, and I'm really glad it works for you, but in practice, not everyone can dismiss their emotions easily. Yes, I totally agree, anger can be toxic, but it's also necessary & valid for self-esteem sometimes.

I know, and that's exactly why I recommended it. Your conversation fully proves the problem of an hurted ego.

Hmmm... that's a fair point, certainly for me since I'm not in education or dealing with these problems directly any more. I was thinking more on behalf of people still in those situations.

To be even clearer: I had my narcissistic injuries, it takes time, but we heal. The best way not to suffer from his art is not to take everything seriously. That's why I recommended it, it's just a personnal opinion.

I really respect that, and I know that a big part of my reaction comes from the same kind of injuries.

What I worry is that even though you don't mean it this way, young people may hear "I'M wrong and toxic for having these emotions", when the emotions are natural and valid. Better to know that you're right and deal with anger later than internalise the idea that you're wrong!
