Please be careful with this person, I don't completely get the context of the relationship but it sounds like you're not being treated as well as you deserve. I know you said you have selective mutism, if this person respects you they'll understand that instead of making you feel bad and needling at you. I know this person seems to have a positive, beneficial interest in you, and that very well might be the case, but it's a red flag and, personally, I would get out of there if someone decided they would talk to me like that.
This partner might still be helpful, I might be misreading, but your social anxiety in not the problem and I kind of think that's mean of them. Especially if they're promising big things and then focusing on inappropriate things. Remember, what opportunities may be presented here, you have a great community in AW who's only goal is to help, inform, and have fun and no one here would talk to you like that.
Than you for your concern, but actually although I labeled it as bad news at the time, I'm over it. It was really the way my mom told me. If my crit partner had said it to my face I wouldn't have been upset. I guess I just felt like I was disappointing my Mom that made me bitter.
I actually wanted her to point out this kind of stuff. Realizing the problem is the only way to get over it. For someone with selective mutism it is really beneficial.
Sorry if the previous post came off the wrong way. My crit partner is the best I could ask for.
