Another interesting word choice: dissected. That makes it sound like examination = desecration. Do you feel like your shared work earlier in the thread was desecrated, or unfairly examined (full disclosure: I read your blowing grass open but did not comment on it, although many others did)? You said many times that you appreciated all of the comments. But that wasn't the case?
I was in a workshop once where my work was not well received by a member. It felt first like an attack, then like maybe she was right and I was just bad at writing. Later, it felt like it was not an attack, but that I was definitely bad at writing. So I stopped writing for about 4 months. Later still, it felt like maybe it had been personal, but I couldn't figure out why. Later still it felt like the writing was surely bad, the comments were justified, but they might've been delivered to me in a more "user friendly" fashion. Later I decided to share my work again, but not with that particular person. At some point in the future I will again share work with that person. If my work is again heavily criticized, presumably I'll give those comments the weight they deserve and no more.
Best wishes with your writing and your experience sharing it.
I think I read through a solid 600 pages of the three-sentences thread in 2015.
