The Fear of Rejection and Self-doubt in Creative Projects
Many creative individuals, like Angela, struggle with feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt in their creative work. Angela, having faced rejection as a writer, found it challenging to gain confidence in her side project of photography. The fear of putting her work out there for potential rejection was not only a rejection of her work but also a rejection of herself.
