This part is very informative to me as I have always had a strong inner critic about if I am doing good enough so that others might not think of me as incompetent, “weird”, or in other negative ways. I could see me resonating with this chapter when I read the names of the sub-sections — I have always treated others and their opinions at first by understanding, acceptance, and approval. If I disagree with them, I instinctively try to think of the reasons of this disagreement and rephrase my expression according to that. Hence, in fact, I found that what the author suggested in dealing with these three fears quite intuitive: to reduce fear of being misunderstood, an insulating period from the immediate critics are needed (I believe most of the time, those people who criticize immediately are either simply uncomfortable to unconventionality or change or criticize in the sake of criticizing); to reduce fear of being not accepted, we should consider that being considered by others “not art” if you think what you made “are art” probably means that you are developing a personal style, or even opening a new pathway or field of art; to reduce fear of being not approved, we should believe that the audience may not be able to resonate with your work as they cannot experience what you experienced during art making.
