People have often said of me that I don't take criticism well. I have had a good think about it and it isn't really true. It only happens under certain conditions and this is what I think happens:
Usually it happens when I am trying to do something difficult and someone tries to help. This stops me concentrating on what I am trying to do and I feel I can;t do it, which leads to frustration. Then I start saying "just leave me to do it my way" or something similar.
I think the best example of this is in the band I play in where if I make a mistake and the conductor asks me to play it again, my nerves reduce me to a partial meltdown and I play worse the next time and can get angry. Just left to have a look at it I would be fine, but I am seen as not being able to take criticism and being a bit unreliable.
It's not quite that though, and i wish other people could understand.
