Today, in art class, everybody was showing the paintings that we have been working on for weeks. Everyone was cheering and clapping. When mine came up, nobody clapped. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, was teacher appreciation day at my school. They played a slideshow of all the teachers. The students cheered wildly for every teacher. When my picture came up, nobody clapped. The whole room was quiet. FML
Today, I brought my best painting yet to college. I showed it off and everyone loved it. Or almost everyone. When we came back from lunch break, we found someone had sharpied the words "JIZZ BUTT" all over it. That painting took two weeks to finish. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to a beginners’ painting class. She and everyone else was able to produce a painting significantly better than mine, and I got laughed at for my lack of skill. I’ve been painting for twenty-five years. FML
Today, after months of hard work, planning, and preparation, I held the reception for my first art show at a gallery. Nobody showed up. FML
Today, I was partnered up with a girl in my art class, since the teacher had asked us to take turns drawing portraits of each other. I went first and felt pretty proud of how the drawing turned out. I showed it to her and she said "That's OK. I'm not good at drawing either." FML
Today, my mother yelled at me for not doing all of my homework. She got so mad, she tore up a drawing I'd spent over a week working on. That was my art homework. FML
Today, I finally finished my art project, which was worth 50% of my quarterly grade. I came in first period to give it to my professor. When she turned to look at it, her elbow hit her coffee and spilled it all over the canvas. I got 60%. She said I would have had a 100%, except for the giant coffee stain. FML
Today, I had to present a powerpoint in front of my class. When I was finished, no one clapped. On my way back to my seat, I slipped on a pencil and fell straight on my face. That's when everyone clapped. FML
Today, I finished a big art project. It was a self-portrait done in acrylics. Proud of my piece, I showed my mom. After some thought her first comment was, "well, I'm either going to insult your art or your face." FML
Today, it was my very last day teaching my dance class. After the class ended, the owner of the studio started clapping and told all my students to give me a hug. No one hugged me. No one. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

to as a fellow artist I got to tell you that no ones art is ever good enough until later like way back I made awesome artwork no one noticed until later same with the guy who made the Mona Lisa like someone asked him to make it and he said he didn't like it but then 100s of years later everyone liked it except for yours I would give a couple days then people will come to see how nice it really is.

Just live your life not caring what others think

Op sorry to tell you this but the third grade is over and if your painting sucks then it gets the recognition it deserves... which in this case was none. YDI for thinking you are still in the third grade instead of learning the lesson and wanting to improve.

Maybe you are not good at art and they just didn't feel like clapping. Or the others who got clapping were either good friends of the ones who clapped or were the "popular ones" and you are not. It might be mean of them, but that is not your problem. Otherwise you were one of the last one to show your painting, and they just got tired by the end of it. Or it could be that they just didn’t understand your art. Whatever is the case, it is not the end of the world. You are not a looser unless you allow yourself to be one. If doing good art pieces are essential for you (art major, etc) start critically analyzing how you can improve (if you need to improve, in the first place). If you think that people don’t like you, start by finding what might be wrong with you. If you think it is a genuine fault, work on it (don’t change yourself just to appease others). But don’t worry too much about it. I can empathize with you ‘cause I have had similar things happen to me.

If nobody was clapping, they were all cheering, while they were giving you a standing ovation...
