Hey everyone,

I just got my first negative client review, and I feel terrible. I worked hard on the project, but the client wasn't happy. Now, I'm worried this will hurt my chances of getting more work.

Should I respond to the review or just move on? Can I fix my reputation, or will this follow me forever? I want to learn from this, but I don't know where to start.

Has this happened to anyone here? How can freelancers recover from a negative client review?
