    Does this happen? I think I’ve only experienced something close to this in high school, but never as an adult. Normally, people around me are either supportive or indifferent about someone learning new skills.

      I think a lot of people use this as a way to start a conversation about what the person is doing and don’t think to ask it in a less confrontational way. Some people can’t handle seeing someone doing something that they thought they can’t or shouldn’t do. Most people don’t care or see another person doing what they please and respect that.
