Where do you go to get feedback on your writing? I'd rather not post my shit on 8ch or Wizardchan but they're the only places outside of Reddit I know with writing communities who aren't pozzed to shit.
I'd like to do self published short stories and I'm willing to put the work in to improve. I just don't know how to get there yet.
Where should I be looking?

Honestly, I would look for an english teacher or somebody who reads a lot of short stories.
Don't forget that everybody has a different opinion on how writing should be, so don't take what they say to heart, but compare it with what you know. "Is what their saying biased?", "Are they comparing basic structure not personal preferences?" Don't ever take what people say 100%, make sure their feedback is not bias and your good to go.
Good luck

Entirely wrong way to go about things in my opinion. First, you should have read enough to know what you like and what you don't like. When you find yourself rewriting sentences, improving confusing descriptions, repairing plot holes, etc. - then your education is gaining momentum. Finally when everything you read is shit, and the only way out is to create your own holy work: this is the time to start writing. But even then, you are writing for yourself and nobody else. Feedback? Are you fucking kidding me? Writers who depend upon feedback is the reason there is so much shit.

I had private classes with people (authors) who offered their services thru facebook. I read some of their work and appreciated it, so I showed them muh shit.
I think its a great place to start, if you find a honest and talented teacher. They wont hold their punches if you don't flinch (so don't!) and you will grow a lot.
Of course they will heavily influence you but its your job to make sure of keeping your own literay strand untouched.
The best method of learning is and will always be reading moar
