So I guess my question is, to all the artist/content creators out there, how do you work through this? How do you un-anchor the value of your work from social media? How do you find motivation to keep going when the perceived feedback is... absent?

I wish I had a better answer. I finished a novel in 2017 (no one's seen it, I've been trying to get it published) and I haven't done anything since. I just feel utterly drained.
I also wish I could offer you something more substantive that words across the internet but I must express, I'm rooting for you and your work. You're a fantastic writer and an excellent human being. Pausing for a moment, even if you didn't intend to, is absolutely valid
