Dad lecturing me... again

I cannot understand why my dad thinks lecturing me is an effective form of communication.

I find it hella stressful, it gives me anxiety and makes me feel like a little child being constantly talked down to. If I tell him that then he'll probably go on to tell me that I'm too sensitive or how I'm not going to succeed in life cos I don't have a thick skin. Plus it's not like it's a conversation, there's no opportunity for me to talk and it ends up becoming a pointless argument if I try. I literally just have to sit there and wait for him to be done with his speech. I absolutely hate it. And yet it's still better than being shouted at. I get nothing out of these interactions other than feeling really bad and thinking I should avoid him more to be less of a target for his lengthy complaining about how I'm not doing enough. Of course I'm doing my best and sometimes I get stuck, it's not like I'm going out of my way in life to fail or be difficult.

I just don't like feeling bad every time he talks to me. Idk if there's anyway to help this situation and I don't expect anyone to give me a magic fix but I would defo appreciate any comforting words. Thanks x
