I’ve also created an account on whatiswrongwithme.com and share it on Facebook once in a while—promising I won’t get offended no matter what I read, but I didn’t get much feedback there either.
You may consider offering money in exchange for good feedback. A while ago, I agreed to pay a friend of mine $5 per individual piece of feedback that I judged to be sufficiently valuable. I learned a lot about myself as a result.
When you approached these people, did you make it clear that you were looking for honest feedback, however painful it might be?
