I don't know what artistic weight is. The key thing to learn is to have a growth mindset and cultivate a "beginner's mind" no matter what level you think you have reached. That means being able to integrate new learning and critique and adapt what you do based on it. It means believing you don't know any topic so well that you cannot learn something new about it.
Just do work needed on the various specific skills and if you post it, and if people suggest help, be open to them. You don't have to accept anything at all, but if many people are giving you the same message over and over, perhaps that is a good point to really evaluate what they are sayings more seriously.
All this other stuff about "supporting your own weight" sounds like a mental distraction that isn't useful in any way. Everyone relies on other people to learn from. Nobody is fully self taught or independent. If you have ever watched a tutorial or read a book on art technique or approach on mindset or anything, you have not done it all yourself. It is just silly to not use all the huge wealth of information out there or still believe you did it all on your own. Nobody viewing a piece of art cares how much help you received in developing something.
You appear to spend a lot of time developing mental preconceptions about the right way to "be" as a learning artist. Just listen, learn and most importantly be willing to adapt.
