A poll about YOU!!

I have somehow ended up having a conversation about these topics with four different people in the last two days, so I decided it's time for a poll. Plus, POLL! What's not to love? Polls are FUN! I made it so no one can see who says what, so you can answer honestly, with no embarrassment, because I promise not to judge you, no matter what.

I know I used the dreaded radio buttons for some of the questions, but you can just answer with how you most often feel. (and if you're both and artist and a writer, or whatever, and the answers would be totally different, you can pick one medium if you want) It doesn't have to be for every time; I know there will always be outliers, and there is always space in the comments box if you want to explain. I have comments set to screened, but will reply (and thus unscreen) unless you say "keep screened" in your subject line or the comment itself.




[Poll #1527751]

I think it makes a lot of sense that it's easier to share work with strangers, and also easier to hear nice things from them. With family/friends, it can be hard to tell if they like the work, or just like you and want to make you feel good. Whereas a stranger has no reason to say something nice unless they mean it.

It's the same way for me about outfits. I can like something and feel comfortable in it, but I always feel better about it when I've had people tell me it looks good.
