This was really interesting, especially looking at it from the point of view of an artist, rather than a writer.
It's funny how much comments and "Views" do matter, even though it really should be all about how YOU feel about a finished piece of work.
There have been times when I've really liked something and no one gives it a blind bit of notice, and other times when I've thought something was a bit crap and people have loved it. Very odd.

What this has also made me think about is how eager I am to share my artwork/writings/whatever to complete strangers online, and yet I really hate it or hide them away when people in my real life want to see. For some reason reading a nice comment from a stranger means a lot more to me than if a family member told me something I'd drawn was good. That's odd isn't it? It shouldn't be like that.

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.
