When it comes to my work, I'm hypersensitive/vigilant to making mistakes and when I get constructive criticism i initially take it well, and then spend hours or days with intrusive bad thoughts about my mistakes or what people think. I've found my belief in what people think or say about me is all determined by my reaction, and if I react in a healthy way it helps my further thought process. Hope it helps!

oh god yeah, not sure if it’s bc of my ocd but i tend to take criticism way too personally and a good reason as to why i don’t like showing what i create to people anymore is simply because i’ve grown to be scared of not only their criticism, but their reaction and what they must be thinking. so if someone responds to my work as “i like it!” i’ll overanalyse this and think “they told someone else that they loved their art, and because they only said they ‘like’ mine, it must be terrible”. i recently get horribly embarrassed when showing people what i create and scared of the criticism

I start to believe insults and criticism and it drives me absolutely crazy! I wish I didn’t have to ruminate on things continuously ?
