Criticism
“People judge what challenges their worldview. And their reaction is more about them regulating or not regulating their own emotions, than about who you are or what you do.
Criticism reveals way more about them than about you.”
It is vulnerable and brave to share your first steps of a journey. It is not something everyone is willing to do. So your freedom to show up imperfectly may trigger people who want to, but are blocked by perfectionistic tendencies. Their discomfort/envy might get projected onto you as criticism. The ones who are trying to police you police themselves.
Take what’s useful, leave the rest, and keep showing up imperfectly.
