    Supervision maybe? That's supposed to be the one where you feel like they're hovering over your every move. Or maybe a conflicting relationship, if it's more like the two of you can't even seem to communicate extensively without completely misinterpreting one another.

    It might not be type related. Some people have characteristics and conditions like borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and high sensitivity that can cause them to react strongly to criticism, perceived slights, and other triggers.

    But if it's type related, it would probably be a type in your opposing quadra.

    well, she is my boss lol. i think it might have something to do with that but only to a certain extend. I just find her hypercritical towards me

    One way or another, my guess is that she's insecure about her job performance.

    Many develop hot-buttons and won't say that someone or something was annoying them until they actually erupt. After several eruptions, people get somewhat 'shell' shocked and tread very softly around them. This seems more related to individuals and not type or inter-type relations........

    If she's your boss then its hard to tell because there are obviously many factors at work here. Authority etc

    About eggshells. To me supervision doesnt feel like that. Supervisors get under my skin and force me to be unauthentic. But i wouldnt describe it as eggshells. Thats more like conflict.
    The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.

    Superego, conflict, kindred on some occasions. Sometimes this type of awkwardness isn't related to socioics types.

    Supervisor if you mean that things you say is taken in a wrong way but it is OK for you. [Conflict is usually bit different as it deals with both parties and is more less just fruitless and plain and frustration.]

    Then there comes super ego which deals with picking different meanings (by both) and kindred where it is just "oh, please... ".

    I think mb its not type related, especially if shes your boss or shes the same way with other employees.
    Maybe she simply thinks that being overly critical is part of her job as boss. Or mb she feels animosity towards you for some reason and thats how she express it. Or mb shes insecure and she tries to assure employees are doing a good job.

    Yes, I agree with others that this is common with enduring Supervision and Conflictor relations. The difference is you still might be trying to gain approval from the former but give up more easily on the latter. This is also possible with other Quadra type relations, depending on the circumstances, but not as Socionics-characteristic as the above.

    Just sounds like a typical unhealthy low Fi person being what they are, I doubt relationship dynamics play any part in her behavior towards you.

    If she's your boss that's most likely the explanation.
