'I...was told “oh but you know only people with talent get in right…?"': 30+ Artists share the harshest critiques they've ever heard

People Share Blindly Obvious Signs They Missed That Someone Was Into Them

We've probably all had these moments of missed hints, overlooked cues, complete obliviousness. These things come hand in hand with the coy games of courtship that take place when you're just starting to feel all of “it” out. And feeling “it” out? That's probably one of the more universal parts of the human experience and the outré affair that is adolescence. There's always that lingering doubt of “will they or won't they” and the wont to hide one's true desires in order to save face should they…
