Trust your own instinct. Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone else's.

You're as good as the best thing you've ever done.

I'm not happy. I'm not happy at all.

I am big. It's the pictures that got small.

If you don't like what you're doing, it's unlikely anyone else will either, so be sure you are happy with your own work first.
