dave Share your writing and watch how people react to it. Then, watch how you react to their reactions.
A common trap of the novice writer: asking for feedback when you really just wanted praise and a pat on the back. Amateurs with fragile egos do this all the time. Then, they get offended when people give them the feedback they asked for.
Serious writers are only interested in feedback for the purpose of making their writing the best it can be.
You’ll know when you’re becoming serious about your writing when praise starts to annoy you.
