When creative groups become creative crutches

Our writing group has been meeting for two years and we've developed this intense intimacy around sharing vulnerable work, but lately I'm noticing we've also become each other's biggest creative crutches. None of us seem to be able to finish anything without the group's constant validation, and I'm wondering if we're actually stunting each other's growth.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A supportive creative community has become a substitute for individual creative courage rather than a catalyst for it.
