Welcome to the world of art, I know how it can be crushing. And that's what distinguishes the artist from the rest, they force themselves through that dense layer of rejection.
The real artist keeps their art in their heart as you keep a child, and knows how it is worth it, because they have created using a piece of their soul.
The rest are the reactions of the collective. The collective might praise your child or might abandon it, no matter how much It crashes your heart, you keep your knowing, knowing of the value of that child of yours, the piece of your heart and mind, and you continue nurturing it.
And miraculously, as you do not give up, you continue to create AND to share, one person finally comes and tell you how that piece touched their heart and changed their direction in life, helped them go through a difficult moment or period of life. And miraculously again, you gain some strength to continue .
Good luck, it's a wonderful path! 🌸
