Does anyone else feel like their work would be received differently if someone else posted it?

I’ve hit this weird place where I actually feel pretty solid about my work… but not how it’s received.

It’s hard to explain, but sometimes it feels like if the exact same images were posted by someone more established, liked or “known,” they’d get a completely different reaction.

Not even in an ego way...just like people would see it differently. Perhaps take it more seriously, or engage more.

I’ve even caught myself wondering… if someone else at the same workshop or shoot I was at—or especially the person leading it—took my images and shared them, would they be received in a more positive light just because of who it’s coming from?

When I post, it can feel kind of flat in comparison, even when I know the work itself is strong.

I’m trying not to get in my head or spiral about it, but this keeps coming up for me despite knowing comparison is the thief of joy it’s definitely frustrating. it's like a sick branch of imposter syndrome I haven't dealt with prior.

Has anyone else felt this?

Did anything actually help you move past it—whether mentally or in how you approach sharing your work? Would appreciate anyone's insights or perspectives. Thanks so much in advance.
