My partner and I are both creative people but we've stopped sharing our work with each other because we're afraid of being too critical or not supportive enough. We used to inspire each other and now we just keep our artistic lives separate, which feels safe but also really lonely.
More people experience this than they realize.
Creative partners retreat into separate artistic worlds to avoid the risk of judgment, inadvertently severing a source of mutual inspiration and intimate collaboration.
