How do you feel about people studying your art and referencing it

I get so flattered when someone does this. The thing is, I’m not the greatest and my art is really flawed. I guess when I’ve had this happen I just worry about how it’s probably gonna be reflective of my bad habits. There are still fundamentals I need to work on, and I worry when people say they look up to you it’s just not genuine or they are gonna make the same mistakes as me. Like look up to someone better 😭 I hope this makes sense like I am genuinely so happy when someone does look up to my art like that enough to study and reference it, but idk
