【Apple】MIL is convinced everyone exists to to do her bidding and drives everyone away

[@Native-Kitty]

Here’s the thing about “constructive criticism”… it’s just an excuse to be cruel and mean to someone dressed up as advice.

[@matthewcardoza1190]

In THIS case, yes; but in other cases it is genuinely good advice meant to help and improve. Some people just can’t take it well; Being able to take constructive criticism and see the advice behind it is a sign of good character.

[@sassysquad6298]

I think you mean “destructive criticism”, their similar but very different. Constructive criticism is meant to genuinely help someone improve, like telling someone they did something wrong on a math assignment and showing them how to get the right answer; destructive is just telling someone they did something wrong, like someone saying that they think something you made is ugly, thus you did it wrong.
