I've been active in several photo discussion groups. Often gear focussed. Sometimes medium focussed. Sometimes region focussed. Sometimes theme focussed.
Unless participants are empathic, that is, they can put themselves in your shoes and see with your eyes, they often have difficulty understanding the intent of your image and cheering you on with your endeavour. They want to sit in their own comfort space, and look from their frame of reference.
Just keep faith with yourself. You sometimes need the validation of peers. Sometimes you don't. If you seek validation every time for every photo, you won't be able to contribute your uniqueness or personal flavour to the world. Even flaws are unique.
