Running it by someone who might not understand is waste of your time.
Sure, you may get some variant input, but no serious support.
Instead, follow the motto: run with it and review.
Talk about your work after it’s shipped, not while you’re working, not while you’re creating, not while you can be manipulated by poor forms of criticism.
“Talk about what you have written, by all means, but do not read from it while the work is in progress. Every gratification procured in this way will slacken your tempo. If this regime is followed, the growing desire to communicate will become in the end a motor for completion.” Walter Benjamin, One-Way Street
Stay Positive & Until It’s Shipped, Follow The First Rule Of Fight Club
