It’s obvious and you would be deluded into thinking everyone you interact with likes you.
But how do you feel it?
Context: I’m a course instructor and I get direct reviews on my lessons and around 95% of feedback is positive to very positive.
There’s less than 5% of my reviews that have real negative and non-constructive comments. Things like accusations of being incompetent or unprepared or full of shit, etc. They mention times I had technical difficulties or made a mistake (like giving an incorrect response)
Just by the numbers alone this is a very small minority overall. Yet these comments stick in my head and make me doubt my abilities.
So what are your strategies or ways you drown out this stuff?
Well I dont like everyone, so I have to assume that not everyone would like me.
There’s the old saying if you’re not pissing someone off, you’re not doing it right, also some people love to complain when given the opportunity, so take that with a grain of salt.
If the majority of feedback is good, then you’re fine, fuckthem whinging pricks, you keep smashing it in spite of the 5%.
