I hate sharing what I create, but I can't stop doing it

  There is a simple solution, though it's quite laborous: create something that you're actually proud of and you know is robust, well-written, and documented.

    For me, the dislike of sharing is divorced from the quality of content shared. I've created material I'm intensely proud of and has received high praise from those individuals I sorely wanted praise from (no, not my mum, actual people who matter and paid a lot of money for things I created). Yet I still deleted it from public view soon after sharing it. I've come to accept such feelings as a natural part of my condition (in the sense of 'human condition', not a disease) and so now just have to do, share and get on with it. There's something quite calming in accepting ones own foibles.
