there's this truly unfortunate trap you can fall into of being both 1) annoying, and 2) visibly vibing as very fragile such that if you were told you were annoying you'd fall apart, get really sad or angry, etc. and people will not give you feedback on #1 if they sense #2 https://t.co/EouF8jtE3W

i owe a lot to people who were willing to offer me feedback even though i reacted to it by falling apart, getting really sad and/or angry, feeling terrible about myself, etc. etc; it was usually still good in the long term. i appreciate people who are willing to take that risk

@QiaochuYuan re 2 yeah I prob would get sad, but that isn't bad per se... when people give feedback and it is spot-on it is a gift, even if I get sad for a minute about it...
