increasingly noticing that when my friends say “i keep getting this negative insane feedback from other people” i used to default to assuming they know that the feedback is insane
but seems more like a part of them doesn’t and i do actually need to say “this feedback is insane”

one time i got a lot of disheartening weird feedback during a poetry workshop that i didnt know how to integrate into my writing, so i went to my professor's office hours, explained my poem and the feedback, and he was like "they're straight-up wrong, that's bad feedback"

we definitely live in a time that encourages listening to All feedback with an open mind, and while i think it's a great notion in practice, it requires a level of internal discernment that a lot of people haven't developed

that is def playing the feedback game on hard mode. sometimes it’s just wrong tho, sometimes you’re not ready to hear it, etc. etc. etc. tough stuff!
