You’re defensive

Once you’ve gotten into the mindset that you always have to be defensive, you’ll find that it is a hard habit to break. Being criticized and put under a spotlight is never a good feeling, but your instincts prompt you to go into defensive mode, even if you really aren’t being criticized at all. When you become defensive after receiving advice or constructive criticism, your partner may back off, which could lead to a lack of communication.
