Educate yourself on mental health before judging others.

YTA but trying to understand her insecurities, offer support

“YTA, but I can see where you were coming from. Insecurity doesn’t always mean about appearance (although ballet does tend to really ingrain some serious body dysmorphia). She might be struggling with some sort of OCD-related behavior, or just some serious anxiety. It might be annoying for you to hear, but imagine how hard it is for her to have to pick apart every single thing she did because her brain is making her.”

You’re the a**hole. Brace yourself for some brutal honesty!
