I’m sorry I made you feel worse by trying to help. None of us are immune to the inner critic and none of us should ever stop trying to improve, but if help and encouragement to keep going and to find that inner gold isn’t what you want, then I’m very sorry for trying to help you to see your value as a writer. You really aren’t a terrible writer, despite what your inner critic may say. Take that for what it’s worth, or don’t.
I won’t bother you any further. Again, my deepest apologies for mistaking your post as seeking encouragement. I’ll be more careful about reaching out to help people in future.
I hope you have better days ahead.
My dear anon,
I'm so sorry I made you feel like this... That truly wasn't what I wanted... I wanted to reply to your message because I so appreciated you going out of your way to try and help me. I wanted to answer you privately to have a talk, but since that's not possible on anon, I put my reply out there.
Please don't stop reaching out and trying to help just because one overly sensitive person has trouble differentiating between things meant to be personal and things meant to be general (because I think that’s what happened when I read your message).
You're a beautiful and wonderful person for wanting to help, and I'm really so so sorry I now made you feel bad for doing a good thing. If you ever do want to have a chat, please DM me.
