In my case I doubt that!

Nope, pretty thick skinned in general - especially when it comes to
email!

I know these feelings! If you have sold stuff then you have done pretty
well. I don't even show a lot of my stuff, except on the web to people
I don't even know that well. Most of my 'real life' friends are not
interested in photography, so it is purely for my own pleasure that I do
it. I am a pretty harsh photo critic, so often dissapointed with what I
do.

I did the course thing for a while, but work got in the way. Best thing
I ever did was learn to get up for dawn - the light is fantastic!
Keep on posting - do you have any stuff on-line?
