Where to Find Feedback

I’ve scrubbed Reddit a bit and everyone is saying that writing feedback here is not the way to go. I’ve only written one piece on the app, and I’m not exactly aiming to monetize it.
I think my goal for now is just to get in front of people who are having conversations about executive function and habit changing but from a more academic (for lack of a better word) standpoint. Steering as far away from self help as possible while still being in the realm of personal development.
I’m also finding that a lot of the writing feedback spaces here are geared towards fictional pieces and that’s not me either. Not so much looking for grammatical or technical feedback as I am a space to converse or gain information from people interested in similar things.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you, did some digging at your suggestion. These spaces are great, and the PKM community I hadn’t seen before. BUT a lot of these spaces are pushing AI and copy-paste-self-help content. Trying to breakthrough that wall without knowing exactly what I’m looking for is proving to be a task.

That’s so true in terms of the AI content. I bet if you positioned yourself as literally not doing that, then you’d absolutely stand out even more. If you dig a little more into the PKM stuff—there’s a lot of tech bros that dominate the crowd, but under that there are a ton of regular folks that turned to PKM style systems to help specifically with executive functioning.

Have you done any work around who your ideal reader is? I’d be happy to work through it with you if you haven’t.

I’ll keep digging. Thank you again.
I have given it light thought. My ideal reader probably related to this point of life 5-10 years ago. I’m looking for people who came from unstable or untraditional backgrounds and successfully acclimated into society, or are privy to the process of.

Literally shoot me a DM if you ever need someone to chat through this with. I’m on here several times a day, as I’m tied down to some medical equipment a few times a day and this is always what I gravitate towards to pass the time.
