Let your work encounter opinions without confusing opinions with ownership.

Opinions about your work are things people have; they do not confer any claim over what you make or where you take it. Confusing the two means letting whoever responds most loudly steer your direction. Feedback is worth listening to and it is not an instruction.

When reactions come in, sort them by whether the person understands what you are trying to do. Weigh those seriously and note the rest without acting. The work remains yours to decide about.
