It may seem like someone is trying to stir up trouble in a social situation by making critical comments or offering advice. They may appear to be treating you like they don't approve of what you're doing, or at least that it could be done better somehow. That may not be the reason at all, dear Leo. Perhaps this person is simply trying to contribute, and this is the only way they can think of how to do that. Accept any comments with gratitude. There may even be some nugget of wisdom that you can put to good use.
