C'mon. You guys don't read your reviews?
I know. I get butthurt. It's a character flaw.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Nope. Pete reads them, and tells me if there's an interesting thing I should see, but I don't read them. I can be a ridiculously oversensitive snowflake, and I know it.
I read reviews. I pay more attention when they're adults with some grasp of their field. When it's random 13-year-olds or asshole fucktards who like to take out their aggression on the internets, no. Also, my books are not *me*.
I worked on a show that was called "a travesty of a mockery of a sham" in the Sun-Times.
Tim says "the work is not you. Unless they say something nice and then it's totally you."
I'm a masochist.
Tim's right. And you don't have to be a masochist, you know.
Random Statement:
I am not pregnant. Were I pregnant and having a girl, however, I would already have ordered this onesie:
Allyson, when I was teaching and we had evaluations at the end of the class, my DH used to dread it. I would ignore 20 glowing reviews and fixate on the one guy who didn't like me or the class or whatever. So, I can tell you not to sweat it, but I don't actually know how to tell you HOW, since I don't know myself.

What Scrappy said. I get evaluated by my students once per semester, and it’s always so difficult for me to focus on the bigger picture. I’m dreading getting department member evals this year.
Which is to say that I don’t have any answers, but I totally understand. Also, Tim is right.
Yo Allyson, please feel free to check out the hatefest following my first Simpsons article on the AV Club. [link]
I thought about replying, but there's never a benefit to engaging people who can't parse a compound sentence.
