That's awesome. That sounds like a big deal to me, someone wanted one of your creative projects enough to pay for it!

When you want to feel happy about it, what feelings come up?

I hope that you can find a way to revel in your success but if you can't, I will revel in this for you.

I guess I just feel insecure, like I wasn't genuine enough. I used to be very self concious and anxious, might be that. Like even with positive faults, I'm still picking it apart, like a negative bias.

Happiness? Comes and goes.

Always struggled with compliments, working on it as it technically invalidates the person giving it.

I guess I also try to stay humble, sometimes to the detriment of my self-esteem.

I appreciate the replies. And yeah, I'm too self-critical and overthink way too much.
