I'll help! It is so helpful to hear your experience is chiming with mine--which is more what I really want to talk about. I would love to establish some sort of forum that showcases writing in progress but only asks for minimal commenting. Like a "like" button.

I realized recently that the revisions I've made to my manuscript were the result of this same thing--asking too many people for their opinions, and failing to find my own sense of what the manuscript is, what it's about, and therefore how it should be. I am trying really hard now to come to some sense of this, but even in the middle of realizing that no one can do it for me, I keep thinking, I wonder if s/he would read my manuscript--I bet they'd give me good feedback.
