And then if I were to figure that out, how am I supposed to know what it is they want without some sort of example to go on? I looked at my work they returned before and was like, oh, well they didn't like this part, I guess I will have to make sure that I follow the example more closely. But I can't do that. As that is what I did the first time and it got me failed! How am I supposed to know what they want if what they provide as an example isn't really what they want?! It feels like they are sitting back there laughing at me. Or like I am a mouse in a cage that they are trying to run though a maze that doesn't have any cheese at the end. I want to scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not sure what kind of work you are writing about, but you might want to say to whoever is complaining about your work basically what you have written here (without the hockey sticks!). Some people are just not good at explaining things and not all explanations make sense to all people. The person complaining about your work can't read your mind any more than you can read his or hers, so please consider telling the person upsetting you that you need better direction. I hope this helps.
Thanks for this!
