How do you handle feedback that hits different?
I got feedback on a piece that was technically constructive but emotionally landed like criticism. The feedback was right, but the way it was delivered made me defensive and hurt. I spent days just sitting with that feeling instead of jumping into revisions. Eventually I extracted the useful part, but I'm curious: how do you know which feedback to trust? How do you separate the data from the delivery and not throw out good notes because they came in a bad package?

I had guilt switching mediums but my work is so much better now. The new thing is what I actually wanted to make. No regrets about the time in the old thing—it got me here.
I think the 'real creator' feeling comes after you've done it long enough and can't deny the reality. But imposter syndrome is universal. Every creator feels like a poser sometimes.
