Re: When your manager says you're "holding back."
i don't understand the above advice although certainly well intended. a lot of really big words in it, for one.
and it's like preparing a meal for a gathering of friends, serving it, and someone can at the end tell you how this wasn't seasoned correctly, the wine wasn't chilled enough, the horsdevors (really bad spelling mishap) were too filling and limp and the the appetizers completely failed, etc.
you know, the reason the evening didn't knock over the critic may have been because his date ditched him, he showed up pissed off, and something about the table reminded him of his mother...who he is currently on the outs with...and he is allergic to seafood.
i wouldn't get too 'specific' trying to understand the specifics of others. most people, when honest, will tell you flat out they don't really know what the hell they're talking about a good bit of the time, generally. and that's just generally, not specifically.
i'd listen to all feedback for sure and be thankful for it, but then absorb and listen to your characters. see what they say about it. they love you, see.
