Navigating feedback and validation in creative work

One must be selective about the feedback they receive on their work, as people's comments may not always accurately reflect the value of the work. It's essential to have an internal barometer and trust one's instincts when deciding to publish work. Social media feedback should be filtered, as it is unfiltered and comes from a diverse range of unknown individuals. Understanding the potential biases and backgrounds of those providing feedback is crucial in determining its validity and relevance.
