I’ll never understand why people are afraid of crickets or rejection. Like, just write something. Let it go. It’s part of receiving feedback. You learn from it and grow. Crickets should be either a challenge you seek to improve from. Or, you simply then stop writing.
Not a fan of shrinking. And fear of rejection is the worst form of getting small.
I see your point to some extent and whilst it is a case of continuing to persist regardless, I think it’s also about reflecting on one’s journey through it all.
We are all different and sometimes we have to appreciate that rejection for some can be a lot harder than you might think. It’s not about just giving up, but diving deep into noticing aspects of self, which I don’t believe everyone can just shut out.
It’s okay if you don’t understand people’s fear of rejection, but thinking beyond our own frame of reference is somewhat necessary, if we can hope to foster greater connection and empathy with others.
I’m too empathetic. I understand rejection quite well, but I don’t see the harm in absorbing it and moving on.
You either need to surmount knowing it’s not good.
Or you can take it as advice you don’t like doing it.
Just because you take a step with something, doesn’t mean you need to commit forever doing it. That’s just some snake oil salesman from eternity ago. Fooling people into ruling the dice on life.
In many ways…I’m stating the same as you when you mention the criticality in thinking beyond our own frame.
What I mean is, I think beyond mine and others for them. There is zero bad poems that caused rejection you can share, which prevent the millionth from being exceptional.
I think some of the difference is experience, as we all share differences there. But to fear no one reading your poems?
It’s a billion times more likely whoever reads it, is too dumb to understand where their nose is on their face. People are extremely insecure, and they build walls which prevent inner intelligence from forming.
Everyone puts their poems on display in quiet conversations and small talk. They all sound like rejects lol.
