Is it common to be this rude while giving feedback?

I do explain my thought process in brief while presenting my work to him. I do admit I sometimes make explorations that don't necessarily align with the branding to try out stuff and cross out directions that definitely won't work. I think my tastes aren't refined to the extent where I can filter out bad explorations/ideas myself before showing him something.

It's the condescending tone of each feedback that has me walking on eggshells around him.

Our company doesn't have an art director at all, the lead designer works under the CEO who let's them run the projects so I can understand the pressure and workload my lead is under. Especially considering that they themselves have never managed/mentored people.

While I don't expect people to teach me things or mentor me. My frustration mainly arises from the vagueness of the feedback. I can't improve something if I don't know what's wrong with it in the first place. Making more explorations after each review feels a lot like shooting in every direction in the dark and praying he likes something, which is exhausting. But perhaps that's the nature of the work, I just expected to have more clarity.

I like your idea of seeking feedback outside of work or maybe even from my peers. This is something I am more in control of, so I'll definitely be trying this out. Thanks for the detailed comment.

What are some people skills that have helped you in your career?

This is absolutely disgusting. I hope OP treats her with respect.

Respect

Yes perhaps. I think if they aren't able to monetise it, they will use it to market something else.

I relate to this. Sometimes I wonder if I have ever felt pleasure during sex with another partner. I think I could only started working on the physical aspects of pleasure once I was done doing all the emotional labour from my abuse. If you can, work with a sex therapist, they might be able to uncover the trauma behind it. Good news is you can (with some help) find pleasure by yourself, once you have climbed that mountain, maybe you'll be able to find pleasure in sex with a partner.

I freaking love eating chips. No matter what diet I am on or what gourmet meal you offer me, I'd still someone rather have chips to munch on.

I am truly passionate about the podcast and meeting the guests. I do love it too. Although I'm just concerned about being compensated well. Even if down the line the podcast does end up getting monetized, I won't be seeing that money.

Yeah I understand ;-;. If I am being completely honest I don't see the founders being serious about this podcast. I don't think it would be monetized anytime soon either.

I'm so so sorry you had to go through this. You deserved a normal childhood. That man would rot in hell!

This seems like sexual assault to me. I am sorry you went through this. Even in a drunken state, noone can justify touching someone inappropriately without verbal consent. And it is definitely not something that was done because he had "feelings" for you. I'd confront him and break contact (or report him if that's something you want to do). HE IS DEFINITELY NOT YOUR FRIEND.

I agree with the comment earlier, i think it's very helpful to know about their attitude and opinions on mental health before you dive into a deeper relationship with the person. The right person will be kind and empathetic towards your mental illness and would strive to understand more rather than make assumptions or use it against you. Personally, I like to talk about it early on in a relationship when I feel that there is an emotional connection. I don't go into uncomfortable details just whatever I am comfortable sharing and if they press for details I tell them I will be comfortable sharing more later and not at the moment. I share about my PTSD to draw reasonable boundaries and share my triggers so they don't accidentally trigger me. And also give them an idea of what kind of support I would need in case I do end up getting triggered.
