When you don't belong to a group, criticism stops mattering

from *“Yesterday, I Went to Mars ♡”* · host MakotowillOlympusMons

Thoughts on belonging and criticism, sparked by watching my kids navigate school life.

Some reflections on finding balance between community and individuality, and why sometimes the best response to criticism is simply "I see."
