I think you can pretty much sense from the beginning whether the observer is being constructively helpful or painfully critical. If I do sense that they are about to scrutinize me or my life, once I quiet my defensive ego, I turn the mental wheel back toward this mantra: Never value someone’s uninformed opinion or judgement about me, over my informed one. Unless they have walked in my shoes, their opinion is uninformed, and therefore incomplete and/or inaccurate.
Besides. Fuck them.
