I am asking myself..... how much of this is MY perception versus the other person’s intention? I’m also asking myself... WHY does this have to bother me? It doesn’t. Yet I allow it to bother me...

I don't know because I don't know the people involved but for me, I will have that reaction either because I don't want to change what I am doing to what they are recommending or I want to be liked and I will mistakenly believe that a critism of one of my actions is the same as not liking me. However, many times, when people give advice, it is because they either care, want something (it can just be as simple as wanting your attention) or a combination of both. Try to look at what they criticised and evaluate if it is valid?
