What do you do when finishing a creative work already feels satisfying on its own, but you’re still unsure whether to share it because part of you wants to know how people would respond?
Post it. The worst outcome is silence, the best is someone feels something because of you.

if you like it personally, go for it. Other people’s opinion don’t matter. Cause you did it for yourself. if you need more thoughts or ideas on this , look at Rick Rubin’s podcasts, he explains it the best

Youll always get negative responses on any creative thing you share. People are misserable and they take it out anonymously.
Just share it and see. When its mostly positive, then you are likely doing something right.

Maybe you have some trusted people you can send it to first as a trial test? Otherwise just post it! You created something! Most people don’t create anything except stress

Shit or get off the toilet
I appreciate its a daunting prospect but don't be your own worst enemy. It won't be as bad as you imagine. You'll get positive and negative feedback, and you should expect a minority to just be dicks no matter what.
But go for it. You'll feel better about it after

Share it anonymously or with a pseudonym. That way the audience isn't judging and targeting the individual. specifically, and focuses on the product.
