He also expressed surprise at my choices of skills and feats, leading me to believe that he thinks my character should be proceeding in a given direction without my having any clue what that direction should be.</blockquote>It does sound like you keep aiming in different directions, from what you have said.  While I can understand his frustration, it isn't cool to be making negative comments in front of the group unless perhaps you are really being a pain.Again, I would need more information about these various directions you keep trying.  If they are wildly different from each other and you get talked out of them, then it isn't his fault, it is yours.This part isn't cool.  I'd suggest keeping your explanation short.  Say that it didn't turn out like you wanted it and you want to do something different.  Cast no blame.Probably is a bit of both.  He's may be expressing his frustration with you in ways that aren't good.  But that's Human...deal with it.  You might want to look at your own behavior, but don't stress yourself out about it, don't fall apart beating yourself up.  Scratch the character, write up a new one (with a firm direction in mind that fits the campaign and the group and the GM's style) and chalk this up to experience.  Don't get into blame and recriminations.  Just move on.[/QUOTE]
