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… 😬

I totally get why you’re scared it’ll get worse if you say something… it’s like this constant fear of making them mad, right? But u gotta remember, this isn’t normal. People don’t just “trip” others for fun. Even if you feel like you’re being sensitive, your feelings are valid. Maybe start by talking to someone you trust first, like a friend or even a family member. If they have your back, you might feel stronger about telling a teacher or someone else.
