Default When a person is "self-quilt-policing"

When a person asks something like "Is this noticeable?" -

Why do so many people say, "no, it isn't"?

It seems to me that if a person asks the question, it is bothering that person to some extent.


If I have my underwear on backwards - I don't think many people would be aware of it - but I would be and it would bother ME until I changed it.


It is true that many "mistakes" are not that noticeable to a casual observer - but if it bothers the maker and is a comparatively easy "fix" - why not encourage the fix more often?


Just wondering - - - -

I know we want to encourage each other - but if the person has ASKED -

As far as that goes - if I have posted a picture of a top/flimsy - I would appreciate someone pointing out an anomaly - and ask me if that was intentional or not.

I know we hear "we are our severest critics" - but is that a bad thing? It is considered rude for others to point out mistakes. (Although I do not consider it necessary to point out all my mistakes to everyone!)
