It's a difficult situation.
I find it hard to listen to others when they critic me too Pinkneon.
I am getting better at it but it's taken me many many years to get to this point.
The way I see it is this. What you feel is right, what they feel is right too. You both see things from you're own point of view.
It's really hard to take a step back and try and see things from a different persons perspective. But it's really important to try to do it. Even if you still feel afterwards that you were wronged it's good to see if you can maybe understand where they are coming from.
If you can do that you'll find maybe that you have a better way of explaining why you feel they are wrong. If you can do that you'll find it easier to get to a point where you can handle and discuss options for making the situation better.
Being clear about how you feel and not getting angry or heated is really hard to do. It takes a lot of practice. Talking to friends about subjects that usually get out of hand is a good way to practice that. Debating things while staying on subject...not easy at all but a skill we all need to get on in day to day life.
Back to the point at hand. I don't know exactly what happened or what was said but I'm sure that you can work it out. Talking it through to find out what's happened and where things need to be adjusted so that they are happy and that you are comfortable too.
<---smiles to hopefully get across I'm really trying to help and not upset you here. I hope you see I'm tying to help here..I'm more than happy to talk to you more about this.
