I think that most creators feel similarly. Each creation contains a part of your self, your soul. It is a precious child of its creator. We welcome honest feedback but some boorish, rude or insensitive people don't seem to realise the impact of their criticisms, the intimate nature of creation. "Your child is fucking ugly. I hate it." I make critical remarks, which may be hurtful - "Hairs too long in my opinion", "Tell him to smile at the camera. I like his smiles not his sour faces.".
