I only focus (obsess) on the bad parts of my review, even though the rest was glowing. Why?!

It's human nature to focus on the negative because negative feedback of any kind creates a feeling of harm and that triggers flight or fight. Human hindbrain is very well and firmly in place, no matter how evolved we think we've become.

On a more positive note OP, being a glass completely full kind of optimist, mate, I can tell you I respect your focus on your weak points (hopefully intending to improve). Better to care about your weakness and improve. Good luck, mate!

Please help! I'm looking for writing terminology. At our agency, we are getting more into creative writing vs ... executional writing? Please help me find the right term. Creative means developing the big idea (concepting), writing scripts and headlines with flair, etc.) for an awareness "hook" and then the other camp, which includes brochures, one pagers, banner ads, sales sheets.

What should we call the other type of writing? (Cont in comments)

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence
