Thanks for indicating your age, it helps me understand where you're coming from.
I ask you sincerely, please never, ever do this again. Life is very hard. You must let people take joy in whatever they can create and learn. No one will ever be harmed because someone is happy they created something, no matter how small - unless someone like you comes along to take their joy away. That joy is essential to life. For some people, it is all they have to keep them going.
When you do this, you don't inspire people to create greater things. You train them not to reach out and share, not to ask for help or encouragement. If you want to be a force for good in the world - and it sounds like you do, or at least care enough to have strong principles - share in the joy of achievement, or simply keep quiet.
I presume you are also very hard on yourself. Kindness starts there - allow yourself to feel good about your achievements. Once you can do that, being kinder to others will follow.
I hope you can be kind to yourself and others in the future. There are many things in life that are worth fighting against. The original post is not one of them.
