Beautiful talk. ❤
Distructive criticisms always come with bad intentions that triggered by negative thoughts but if one can develop positive thoughts often with mindfulness and kindness, criticism becomes constructive always.

Thanks for this. Even with lots of constructive criticism, the receiver has to decide whether a change happens. Then the giver has to decide whether to accept it if no change happens.

I find de-escalating in an argument very challenging. I would really love videos about conflict resolution and how to deescalate the situation, especially with people who are not very easy going

What about destructive criticism regarding competence?

[jenniferabercrombie]

Yes, i feel as if I do not deserve for other people to change. I believe that all is my fault and that at the core I am responsible for handling things when someone else does or says something that I believe to be the wrong thing. I believe that I am not supposed to defend myself, but to let it go. It is very hard for me when I feel like I have to stand for my own boundaries.

I have to admit, this is hard for me. Sometimes, even when you have the right to give feedback, the other person doesn't want to hear it. I feel like I didn't say it correctly.

The majority of the time most people do not have the cognitive dissonance to be able to maintain a calm composure when giving advice for constructive criticism. It also highly depends on the individual different strokes or different folks. Some people you have to approach blunt some people you have to approach gentle if someone is sensitive gentle is needed if someone has blunt go ahead and say it, and they will appreciate it if They’re smart and wise if you raise your tone of voice depending on how you speak, depends on how you perceived if you give criticism with a very dry humor face most people will look at it as you’re just being a douche bag and you’re judging me and get self-defensive And take criticism in the right way other people have to be lighthearted and kind of funny about the criticism but still have to be slightly starred. It’s very complex thing for people to do!.

Unfortunately, most people do not go this far in depth into thinking about the decisions or their behaviors or how they approach things
