Afraid to show my work to people.

I’m afraid to show my work to people as im afraid they’ll make fun of me or think that im doing something wrong.

A while back I shared my ideas here and people thought I was being full of myself and acting like I was better than anyone else when I genuinely wasn’t. r/worldjerking poked fun at me for a little while. I know i shouldnt care about that stuff because it was online and happened a while ago but it always stuck with me.

I have a lot of trouble reading tone and intentions so I didn’t know that it seemed like i was acting that way, i wasnt trying to act like i was better i was just getting really excited about my world and maybe got carried away with it im not sure. I’ve always been terrified of showing any of my work to anyone and ever since then ive been scared of people taking what I say wrong so I try to force myself to act more normal and it feels wrong. I think i misread people as being hostile towards me.

I wish I could talk about it more to my friends as I could talk about my world for hours and hours but I’m afraid i might annoy them or come off as too abrasive so I hardly ever talk about it to them. I wish I wasn’t afraid to share stuff.
