It is important to support your friends and help them with their creative projects. However, there is always a danger that the help will turn into criticism and support into a competition. In fact, competition is always in the air, and sometimes people can’t help but feel offended if they are not included in a project that they thought was also for them.
A striking example of this is a post by a Reddit user. The original poster herself says that she is not at all offended by her friend’s work in refashioning clothing – she is, in fact, very proud of it. However, the Original Poster was offended by her friend’s Instagram post “before” shots, which made OP feel like she was being mocked as a plus-sized person.
