No one I know will read my writing

My partners, friends, and family are either not able to find the time (which is valid) or are not interested in reading any of my writing (which is also valid but I find slightly sadder) and I'm really frustrated about it

I'm very lucky in that I do have readers, they're just strangers. I'd really like to get some opinions from people whose creative thoughts I respect, like my partners, but at this point I don't have anyone I can ask because none of them have read it

The most frustrating part is that I want to be able to complain that I don't have anyone to ask for feedback from, and I can't even do that because it will make my friends feel bad

No one is obligated to read anything of mine, I'm not mad at them

I'm still disappointed though
