Sometimes, often, people criticize women for behaviors that they would not criticize in a man.

This is a bad thing?

This statement, if applied to a man, would not generally be considered a criticism. In fact, it likely would be considered a compliment.

So one way to look at yourself would be to ask, for each trait that is being brought to your attention, if it would be considered to be negative if done by a man.

I think that this will pare down the list of criticisms of you, and give you a more positive perspective on yourself.

Based on what you said, I am not thinking that you need to fundamentally change the way that you are.

Of course, everyone has problems, things that could be better. You might want to consider what is something specific for you to work on. Maybe the interrupting that you mentioned?
