How Positive Criticism Help Us Grow

It's a science to encourage each other's development by criticism without hurting each other's self-esteem. The tone of constructive feedback should be optimistic, and it should be followed by a specific and attainable target. Of course, you must find an appropriate time and place to criticise someone, since doing so in public would annoy the other individual and accomplish nothing. You will know how to offer constructive criticism after reading this post.

There is no personal attack or insult in constructive criticism, and the aim is to improve the other party's behaviour or the outcome of improving the other party's behaviour. This type of criticism necessitates careful analysis of terms and phrases in order to portray the criticism in the most favourable light possible to the other party, and it is generally mentioned upfront that the criticism itself might be incorrect.

You condemn someone's job or actions because you feel compelled to do so. You can be mistaken if what you want to do is help the other person change their current situation. When making criticisms, there are two key things to consider. One is the person who is responsible for the issue and criticises; the other is that the criticism is both constructive and feasible.

Many people believe that complaints and recommendations are made for the benefit of the other side, but they often do more harm than good. For example, if you meet a friend who has gained a lot of weight unexpectedly, you might gently advise her that it is time to lose weight for her health's sake. Perhaps the other party would be offended by your love.

You may give constructive criticism if you are in a high place or if anyone specifically asks for your opinion. If you've just opened a big organisation and it's time for the quarterly assessment and review, for example, you'll need to suggest ways for workers to change.

If the topic is personal, there may be some personal feelings expressed throughout the discussion. Remove emotional influences as much as possible, step out of personal positions, and examine the situation as critically and reasonably as possible. If you're upset or irritated, your body language and tone of voice can reflect your feelings, making it impossible for the other person to avoid your criticism.

Try not to say things like, "You're making me insane; you're not worthy of being my boyfriend." Try to be as realistic as possible, for example: "I know you've got a lot on your plate this week and don't have much time to share housework. Let's talk about it. Discuss the situation and come up with a correct solution."

Let the other person that you're paying attention and empathising. This will make the other person feel more at ease, and it will also show that you are on his side.
