For some of us without a lot of natural confidence, that's the way it has to be done, or not at all. I wish I'd been such a natural and so self-assured that I hadn't had to put myself through all that, but I can now draw and paint well, and I'm very grateful that I didn't turn the truck around that first morning.
Same thing, with the reaction to an unsatisfying response to a Forum post. You have to want it and go after it.

I agree with you 100%. But as you know, artists can be very sensitive.
I am curious to know why you have never posted your own work here.
