Hi all,
So I would like to know, how would you deal with intense scrutiny? Some of it founded and some of it excessive?
Let’s say for example, you write an email to a client.. and your boss just likes to change everything you do to something better. Even if it’s just fine.. and so everything Mundane you do ends up needing to be “Improved” and needs to go through them first ?
Or let’s say you offer to make a meal for the family, and while you are cooking, your SIL watches you and keeps commenting on mundane things. “Oh I notice that you are very clean and place things back in their place while cooking, I will let my mum know...” or simply “we don’t place the cloths on our tap, my mum would be surprised that you do ”.
They’re harmless comments but excessive and ... errr, really makes me feel like I’m tiptoeing to gain their approval..
Sometimes the scrutiny is founded, I’m a human with flaws and if you spend enough time watching my every move I’m sure you will catch many.. just the same as I would the other way round but I’m simply uninterested..
But I really want to know how to address this sort of scrutiny.. kindly
AIBU to think this is not within the brackets of “feedback” and rather patronising ?
