It seems like you have a problem disentangling your personal self-worth from your requests and the casual determination that one person online wouldn’t write for them. Touch grass, etc.
The ranking game is consistently the least wanky and is inherently subjective. If someone felt amazing because they were ranked highly it would be similarly a touch grass moment. The point is to see the different things people like and look out for when treating and not to crown or shame. If you aren’t interested then ignore it.
One person saying “too vague” and the other saying “too specific” is a reflection on them, not you as a person or even your letter, and is the whole reason why people look forward to it every year. We enjoy seeing all the differences in what people look for and don’t like the critique of 3T1L or bad/good letters thread where subjective opinion is treated as objective or even desired/solicited.
