Aww OP, I have definitely been there. I still develop insecure feelings and question my tastes/skills from time to time. I can't help it.

Feel your feelings OP. You can't help how you feel, you know?

For me, I often have to remind myself that 1) not everyone likes the same things, 2) there is no piece of media that is so universally loved that has no flaws, 3) given how popular some things are despite seeing FS comments/comments on socials say they don't like said popular thing, it means what I read/write has appeal and maybe I don't need to consider all the comments I read so often, and 4) some things that I cannot stand are praised to the high heavens on FS/other socials so it's fair that they don't like things I like.
Oh and constantly telling myself, "I like what I like and that's OK."

I read the comments in this thread and I wish you the best OP. I agree with the commenters who said you are doing good self-care by not interacting with things that make you feel bad.

I also grew up insecure (also neurodivergent) and bullied/scapegoated quite a bit, when I got into writing it was possibly the first hobby/skill that I felt I was "good" at that gave me positive attention that felt "earned", and so I can be really sensitive to criticism. I also know when I have limitations with exposure to hearing what people don't like about fanfics/writing/fiction storytelling.
