The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes.
Actual competence may weaken self-confidence, as competent individuals may falsely assume that others have an equivalent understanding. As Kruger and Dunning conclude, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others" (p. 1127).
I'm sad to hear you deleted your recced fic from the internet, though of course the work is yours to do with as you please. But for readers who love your fic, it's probably very disappointing.
Accurate self-criticism is difficult. Even now that I've improved a lot since my early teen years when I, too, was on the receiving end of a sporking, I still have a bad habit of thinking terrible things are good and good things are terrible, but also thinking good things are good and terrible things are terrible so I'm not even reliably backwards. Outside feedback can be a big help because they don't have all the same baggage and attachments with your writing that you do.
