kriticlopse
noun
The anxiety that comes from releasing a personal project, fearing not just criticism, but an intense emotional backlash that feels deeply threatening. It's the anticipation of facing unfounded hate and negativity, knowing it could drain your creativity and passion, overshadowing the joy of creation.
From Greek 'kritike' (criticism) + 'ekleipsis' (abandonment or hiding), signifying the overshadowing by criticism. Pronounced "KRIT-i-klops"
