It sounds to me like you're genuinely concerned that what you're playing doesn't actually sound "good," so if I were you I would talk to a good cross-section of people you know, different ages, tastes, etc. and get their opinions.
If you don't mind my asking, have you had hearing related problems in the past? You mentioned the sound of your guitar hurting your ears in the past. Hopefully your guitar isn't ever so loud or harsh sounding that it would cause someone with average hearing immediate pain.
