Ugh, that sounds so frustrating. I’ve been in a similar situation where someone constantly criticized me, and honestly, I tried to ignore it at first. But that just made it worse for me, ‘cause I kept thinking about it, ya know? If it’s affecting how much you enjoy the orchestra, maybe it’s worth a calm, direct conversation. Just something like, “Hey, I’ve noticed you’ve been pointing out my mistakes a lot, and it’s making me uncomfortable.” If they’re a decent person, they might not even realize how they’re coming across. But idk, confronting them could also be awkward… 😬
