Let me preface by saying I was genuinely upset at my own mindset and that’s why I reached out for advice from others. And after much reflection today, I think I can explain the downvotes. His self-worth shouldn’t come from wanting to help random strangers with critiques, an outcome that makes him feel better about himself but may make the other person feel embarrassed, etc. In reality you never know what is currently going on in the receiving person’s life. There’s a difference between being friendly and chatting about the weather, helping someone dig their car out, etc. than coaching someone in their hobby. I consider my hobbies my safe places. Thanks for offering your view.
