Today I hosted a team away day, about 40 people in attendance. My line manager manages 3 people and tasked us host a session individually & present to everyone solo. Colleague A went first. I went second.

When my session was over, colleague A said to me “I bet you’re glad that’s over”. I didn’t understand what she meant, as I like presenting and felt it went well. So I replied “I thought it went well” and she replied “oh right, are you sure?”

My line manager came over to compliment me on the presentation and gave me good feedback, well done etc. He didn’t do this with the other colleagues who presented.

The audience were really engaged and everyone interacted, I was able to get through everything I wanted to, the pacing was fine, my session ran the full slot, people said they thought it was interesting. So in my opinion, nothing went wrong. Looking back, I feel like colleague A’s comments were to just knock my confidence? Aibu?

Even your context doesn't fully explain whether you are causing the weird dynamic or she is, and that's from your posts written entirely from your POV.

I think she thinks you are a team and you think she's competition, so you're talking at cross purposes a bit. She saw the presentation as a joint thing, you saw separate parts and yours being better. She thinks she's helping at work, you think she's taking over and messing it up.

Honestly, I think what she says and what you hear are very different and it's you that's causing this.

Honestly, your post makes no sense.
