I really enjoy writing. And

I really enjoy writing. And I've been told that I'm not too bad at it. But for a while now, I've stopped letting people read what I write. I write because I like it. I don't want it to be something I do because I'm good at it or because people think I'm good at it. So sometimes telling people they're good at something/praising them can go the opposite way. It can makes things less about them and more about others - it becomes something they do just because people say they should.
