Problem is those people are probably people you are very close to.
Don't pretend that you never said a song or a movie is absolute garbage. At the end of the day someone made that song. someone made that movie.
Someone made that one muffin that did not taste that good.
But we all know that at one point every single one of us has talked trash about someones craft. Something they probably put hours and hours of work into
Saying don't care about it is like telling a depressed person to just be happy. We're social creatures. We want acceptance within the tribe.
Like when it's your mom or even your partner saying hey your SoundCloud rap isn't that good at a certain point you just have to accept it.
I think we’re reading that comment very differently. If people “hate it when you’re not monetizing your hobbies,” that’s not about the quality of your work. Certainly people can be overly critical of your work, and maybe that hurts, but it’s something else entirely for people to judge you for spending your free time doing something you love.
I’ve said songs are garbage, but I’ve never wished that an amateur musician would stop making music they enjoyed making!

But what if people hate it when you're not good at your hobbies? When you're not monetizing your hobbies? When you have hobbies at all?
