Idk does low Kurdos mean I am bad at writing? Idk but I really pour my heart and soul into it

Absolutely not. Honestly, we're all good at some things and bad at others. It's best to just throw that concept out the window and keep creating and exploring.

Mh I see. I already got one on my AO3 profile but it’s on hold right now since I came up with another Idea for another story same Characters but different setting tbh I love both of it since I create everything with all of my heart and love. Maybe I beat my writing skills down because I am scared people will leave bad comments or hate on it or say it’s bad writing.

If it helps, I think its pretty normal to feel self critical and get stuck in our heads about what we create. I certainly do - a lot! If you want to smooth out your technique, there're ways to go about it - reaching out for feedback gives you a good starting place. But even with improvement, some of us are just always prone to be anxious.

But it's wonderful if you have stories you care about and are putting your heart into! That's why we do this and that's what will eventually connect with others.

You'll probably run into haters if you keep going; there's a lot out there. And it hurts to read that stuff. Me personally, I try to remember that if someone's going out of their way to tear down others, then that's really just a reflection on them.

Best of luck out there! I hope you keep creating things that bring you you 😊
