I just saw your video bouncing back on the "humble" word.

I kind of think of "humble" as in "you don't seem to acknowledge how good you are doing".

I guess what I'm trying to say is, you look defensive ?

Where is the "I'm pretty proud of how turned out, I'm so good sometime ! What ? You didn't like some of it ? *Shrugh* I stand on this one !".

Hum. Confidence, boastingon some good stuff or idea you are proud about ? Disagreeing about a critic ? I think the lack of it compared to the quality of what I met made me think "woaah. Aggravated humility over there !".

Anyyyway. It's just my personal take, I don't rule out I'm deeply mistaking. Text based interactions can sometimes do that. ^^

Hi Eeuphy,

I'm not sure I fully understand what your stance is on this. I hesitated to speak about the word humble, because I think I have some pretty mixed feelings about it and I fear coming across disingenuous. Your comment just got me thinking and sorting through some of those feelings. Perhaps it was inappropriate to share online, given how awkward my delivery was. I don't believe confidence requires boasting or making declarations. I just believe personally I feel more comfortable with myself these days to take critiques in a more measured mindset. I don't consider myself humble but perhaps my responses don't communicate this. I had hoped to try and clarify why I feel this way but I may have ultimately failed. I do genuinely appreciate your continued communication!

I think you're right. I don't know what I was thinking ! I never thought I'd say to someone "you should act more smug to fit my artist cliché !" T_T
