I'm really depressed so I paint.

[samplegirl]

that's not even helping. My friends can be very rude.
I invite them for Thanksgiving and start arguing with me in my house.
No respect at all so that's my last Thanksgiving having guests.

[XanaDUer2]

1. I'm sorry

[hlthe2b]

2. I walk (with my pup)...

But when my last pup died, I pretty much did nothing but walk for months, in between work (and usually while listening to sad, cathartic music). It helps. At least me.

Then again, I can't paint...

[bucolic_frolic]

3. We all have demons, even those of us who were not surprised

and therefore not disappointed very much. Maybe it's the same demons that surface in other parts of life.

Your photo is not showing up .... don't know if it's supposed to or not.

[orleans]

28. it would be great if someone who can see the painting saved it and went on postimages and reposted it for us

so the rest of us can see it.

[LiberalLoner]

56. 💙yes! I can't see it either!

[orleans]

57. try now. i think the pic is showing up for everyone nt

[LiberalLoner]

58. Thank you! It is showing up and is an adorable painting! 💙

[MLAA]

4. How obnoxious. I am so sorry you worked so hard and had to deal with that.

Cull the invite list dramatically and maybe go out for a meal next year. 🩷🩷🩷🩷.

[Clouds Passing]

5. I'm sorry.

[Maraya1969]

6. I am really sorry this happened to you. Sometimes people can be first class asses.

They probably don't realize how they are hurting you. Remember you always have friends here.

[Faux pas]

7. Everyone

is an assholes, from the tiny irritating kind to the gigantic kind. How do you friends rate on that scale ⚖🤔

I am sorry they ruined you day

[electric_blue68]

11. Geeeebz. You're waaaay too cynical for me. Even the best people have crummy moments here & there.

[samplegirl]

39. Always saying cruel things

I can't take it anymore then say it's a joke!

[Meowmee]

8. Cute painting 😀

Sorry about your friends, that is awful. 🤗 Maybe find some new friends who are more respectful.

[maspaha]

9. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this...

The complete abandonment of courtesy and kindness replaced by insults and threats is what makes me most sad

[LoisB]

10. Keep up with your wonderful paintings, get rid of the "friends". Too many people have no sense of decorum.

[electric_blue68]

12. Another Sweet Painting from you! So sorry your friends were so nasty...

You go out of your way to prepare a welcoming get togther? Shame on them!

[FirstLight]

13. Right there with you

Sorry about the assholes... definitely never invite them again.

Im depressed for other reasons, spent yesterday alone. Trying to motivate to eat something and though there's stuff to make, i just wanna order pizza and cry

[summer_in_TX]

35. That sucks, FirstLight, I am so sorry to hear it.

I hope today was a better day.

[Rebl2]

14. Sorry

this happened to you.

[niyad]

15. I am so very sorry that your friends were so rude.. No more invites for them!

You do not deserve such disrespect and rudeness anywhere, much less in your own home.

Ahh, now I can see it. .a truly charming painting, so thank you for sharing. I am just so sorry that you had such a nasty experience..

[DeeNice]

21. I can't see it either

Tried on ipad and android phone, didn’t show on either.

[niyad]

42. picture is there now for me.

[byronius]

29. Me either.

And it’s important! Darn.

[niyad]

43. Picture is there now for me.

[byronius]

53. Got it!

Sweet!

[samplegirl]

40. Always some smart remarks

of what I don't do for them. Nobody thinks maybe I'm tired of doing everything.

[niyad]

41. Hugggggs. Those people are NOT "friends" in any sense that we

recognize. Friends cherish one, support one, are kind, and thoughtful. They do NOT say cruel things, and then insist they are "jokes". They do NOT start arguments in one's home. I do not know how much you must interact with them regularly, but I would limit as much as possible if there are reasons you cannot eliminate them entirely.

Know that you are loved and cherished and appreciated here.

[Blue Full Moon]

16. Love your painting.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

17. I'm sorry

I'm sorry that happened to you.

I can't see the image for some reason.

[niyad]

44. I can see it now.

[3catwoman3]

18. With friends like that, as the old saying goes...

Seeing your lovely paintings always brings a smile to my face. I hope being able to create them will soon bring a smile to yours again.

Like several others, I'm not seeing an image in your OP.

[niyad]

45. I can see it now.

[lostnfound]

19. I LOVE your painting. And it is annoying on days when you are the one..

who gives, yet gets taken for granted.

[Abolishinist]

20. It doesn't show for me, using Chrome. I get the little logo thing but that's all.

[niyad]

46. Look again. I can see it now.

[DeeNice]

22. "No stuffing for anyone who can't STFU and be nice!"

Seriously though, sorry people are being shitty on a day when you’re providing for them and trying to make it a special gathering.

[H2O Man]

23. Recommended.

I try to only interact with people I am fully comfortable with on holidays. I suppose that they are the only ones I interact with most all of the time. I recognize that I am fortunate to be able to do so. A lot of my friends tell me they have relatives, co-workers, and neighbors they can't stand, but have to interact with at times.

[LiberalLoner]

24. I'm so sorry. I've been telling myself, I have a bed to sleep in, a roof over my head,

Food to eat, I’m not in pain except for minor arthritis, and I have art supplies to play with, and the time to play with them. So my life right now is very good. And that’s what I’m really trying to concentrate on each day.

[niyad]

47. As do I. Even if I have to remind myself a dozen tmes a day. Cuddling with

my kitty helps.

[LiberalLoner]

55. 💙💙💙💙💙 it just seems to be my mantra for not panicking or sinking into very bad depression.

[Diamond_Dog]

25. I'm sorry samplegirl.

Just stick with us here at DU. We are all your friends. 🙂

It’s so disheartening the way Trump has given permission for idiots to come right out with insults and disrespect. It’s all about “me me me” now.

I wish I could see your painting. For some reason it’s not showing up on my IPad.

[niyad]

48. Try again. It finally showed up on my little tablet.

[Diamond_Dog]

51. OK I can see the cute polar bear now!

[Ocelot II]

26. I'm really depressed so I don't paint.

Been staring at a blank canvas for a couple of weeks, can't find the energy to do anything with it.

[Diamond_Dog]

50. That's kinda how I've been lately, too, Ocelot.

[PJMcK]

27. I dig

Lessons learned, you know?

At least you've learned who your compatriots are.

Peace, samplegirl. I look forward to your posts.

[area51]

30. I'm sorry.

You have friends here.

[osteopath6]

31. Hug for you

And absolutely gorgeous snuggle bear 🥰

[Hope22]

32. Awwww...I love this sweetie!

I always enjoy your painting. I hear you on the people. Sometimes they really suck. I’m sorry thanksgiving was stressful! When I want to paint but can’t get started I like to take a soft pencil and just write what I am feeling on the watercolor paper dark enough to read but soft enough to go into the painting. I write myself a message or a message to the world or the folks I don’t agree with. Whatever feels good. Then I take a couple nice breaths and begin painting! I hope you are easy with yourself and can find some moments of peace. Hugs and love to you. 💗🙏🏼

33. The world should bow to the humble and gentle natured human beings

The oppression is palpable these days. It's suffocating.

The people on the other side of the spectrum, chasing power, wealth and position, are led by something they always refuse to recognize. I suppose it must be bravado they gamble with, but in reality its always the incautious fool that loses, and sometimes wins. One things for sure, what you do and say effects others lives and experiences, sometimes in profound ways.

To summarize: Some are considerate while others are not.

[bif]

34. I'm with ya 100%!

[The Wandering Harper]

36. love the painting

and here's to shedding ingrates

[Solly Mack]

37. That sucks, samplegirl. I'm sorry that happened to you.

[StarryNite]

38. I love the little bear!

[Niagara]

49. I'm sorry that some people are just toxic that way

I'm glad that you have an outlet with painting.


I like your painting. I hope that you continue with painting.

[Beachnutt]

52. Wow, Great job painting

[orleans]
