So.... I chat to a lot of people when I attend markets. I listen to feedback on my products and other people's ideas on sewing and running your own business.
I chatted to one person who said I wasn't working hard enough as my body didn't hurt after sewing.
I found this opinion quite offensive as they didn't know what I put into my business. They only saw the end products at the market.
Apparently, their body hurt after hours of sewing and had to resort to placing a brick on the pedal to keep the machine going.
I take people for what they are and don't try and change their opinions as that is what makes them them.
I just agreed with that person as I don't need to justify myself to them. I know how hard I work.
It reminded me of my childhood, where negative reinforcement was used to make you try harder. I still have doubts about myself, but I know I always try my best.
I remember a previous chat with that person. They couldn't figure out how to adjust the tension on their machine, so they just bought another machine.
I would have enjoyed the challenge of figuring it out.
We are all different. Some people's different just isn't nice.🙂🫤🙁
