Teal Swan Intro by Christian De Raco

[Arrabella]

I don't mind so-called negative feedback if it is delivered with compassion. What I do not like is when it is accompanied by needlessly harsh words or tone, which is sadly common.

[ttaylorboi]

I feel like I've gotten negative feedback so much that it's just regular feedback. And when someone gives me positive feedback it is praise

[matwx]

I agree. Negative or positive, feedback in general is useful for gaining insight into how you're impacting others.

[mauriciogeraud]

Most of the feedback I’ve ever gotten was because they couldn’t see themselves doing it, they thought it impossible, they were scared simply by the thought, so they tried to put me down through personal attacks disguised as feedback. At the beginning they did stop me as I took them personal, but then I did most of those things anyway and I thrived because of that.

[EgoShredder]

I think we need to externalise what is said to us, that way we can view it from a distance minus the emotional involvement hopefully, and to determine if its valid criticism or not, or whether we could use it for self improvement.

[lindacole]

Being a classic Virgo self analysis is always a given. Feedback in all its forms can be tough and enlightening but once you get past the cringy vibe you can learn a lot from what is said. This is the cornerstone often of growth and stepping up your life game in any area you may want to prosper.

[moonmajesties]

Being able to receive negative feedback when it's given with care and for the person's well being is so important.
Thank you queen for this video! 🙌

[King_of_Sofa]

I give people positive feedback all the time so I can feel virtuous. My oldest play in the book! Thanks Teal, you're doing a great job :)

[MrMusic]

2:20 this example hits me hard. My mom is a classical musician and was so critical of my playing growing up and then everybody else in my life was calling me a child prodigy with immense talent. Discouragement in continuing the discipline is an understatement.

[aistearmana]

It’s important to know that negative feedback is just a feedback and you don’t need to put it to your negative narrative about yourself

[ganndalf]

So true. Negative feedback I got lately, and even when at times it was harsh, was the wake up call I needed to put my life together and work on my toxic patterns that caused me being stuck in endless repeating cycles. Thank you for speaking the truth.

[lilyrose]

Im not perfect. No one is. And that is the key for me to NOT stress out about negative feedback.

[plainmom]

In my 45 yrs of life my mother has been both negative and positive in my life for her benefit. I’m trying to look at this as if this portrays to me learning how I can be a better person to others. Thank you 🙏🏼

[EmbraceTheStruggle]

As brutally honest as this vid was; it was actually an awesome birthday 🎂 present for me ^_^

[bigbarrelbushbuddy]

As a grommet I took part in a Basketball coaching course. From it one of life’s biggest lessons was learnt.
Start with a positive, then hit them with the negative, then end with a positive. From experience it has been a great gift.

[aaroneich]

It is increasingly challenging to give people negative feedback these days. Systems of emotional safety often do not allow for real feedback or growth in the real world. Instead, lowering standards and building consensus within a community seem to be the movement forward.

[PeterRoll]

Glad to be here.
Youtube would not let me find you on my device.

[AmberDWorld]

I get negative feedback sometimes and I find it can make me feel bad. I do take it on board though and can sometimes use it in a positive way x

[CandaceJDunkley]

Thank you! This video was right on time!

[Nina_Kowsari]

There can be so many shadow reasons for why we dont want to receive negative feedback and just as many shadow reasons why we might choose to not give someone a negative feedback or reality check. Like fear of conflict or fear of being perceived as bad, or fear of being wrong in your judgement so it's easier to fence sit and not say anything. This video is helpful because it loosens up our resistance to both getting negative feedback and giving it. After all, if we know we benefit from receiving it and our life quality and relationship quality will improve as a result, it is only logical to consider the feedback. Likewise, if we know we are serving someone with their best interest by providing a feedback for something to improve, we can do so with care and it can be beneficial to all.
