There are certain occasions in which you would give them constructive criticism. You want to make sure that you get your point across, but you also don't want to hurt their feelings. Here is an example of one of the sitautions in which constructive criticism is called for: Your friend wrote a poem that she was planning on giving to her dad as a birthday gift. She first wants you to read it to see if there is anything that she should fix. So you read it, and there are a few things that you think she should change. You say something like, "I like how you rhymed every other line. That style really suits the poem. However, you forgot to rhyme these two lines." It would not be constructive criticism if you said something like, "You are a terrible poet. I am so much better at poetry than you. In fact, I am also prettier." I know that you wouldn't say that to a friend. There's no way that saying that would count as constructive criticism since constructive criticism is about showing them a way to improve without being rude to them.
Should you criticise others .....not if you do not want them to criticise you. Criticism can be a soul destroying thing for both the person who thinks they are in a position to do so, (let he who is without sin cast the 1st stone and all that) and for the person being criticised. I always say be careful what you say.....
Encourage your friend to seek professional help from a therapist or counselor who can provide support and guidance. Offer your friend kind words and reassurance, and remind them of their strengths and positive qualities. Encourage activities that promote self-care and self-love, such as exercise, hobbies, and positive affirmations.
My advice- Well, if they are stealing from you then i don't think that you guys should STAY best friends. If a friend is worth keeping they will stick by you through anything, I suggest that you talk to this friend about it and maybe try and fix things..:Dhope that helpedI suggest that you figure out what he/she took, then try to recover the stuff.Afterwards, you should talk to your best friend about it, and figure out if they're really your friend or just pretended to be just to get your stuff.If they are really your friend, don't put all the trust you had back into her/him.If they were to get your stuff, I suggest you stop bringing them to your house, or choose to stop being friends.Hope I helped! ☺☻~monk7monk
i think if your that friend is more than a best friend than you should directly say to him or her that he or she is very special to you and you care for him or her. "so share every problem and happiness with me." coz, "I LOVE YOU"........ even i have also tried this.......
If you were not bothering your crush and trusted your friend enough to tell them how you felt about him then your friend is no friend at all when they told him you were obsessed with him and you should get rid of this so called friend. Good friends keep the secrets of their friends and are never disloyal. Depending on how long ago last year this happened you could try to get your crush alone somewhere and explain that your friend exaggerated and you just wanted to set the record straight; then walk away and if he is interested enough in you he will ask you out and if not then you should move on with your life.
When a person gives constructive criticism, it should tell the person what they can do better to improve. It should use polite language.
It is criticism yet it's civilized as to expose the bad points, and give advice to improve upon them. It is not saying: "You are terrible, you should give up." The point is that it be "Constructive".
With respect to business and the performance of any employee, everyone should be "criticized", although the more popular term is constructive criticism. Because no one is "perfect", everyone has opportunity for improvement. Remember, constructive criticism in the work place isn't personal, it's ment to help the employee, and ultimately the company improve.
If a coworker offers you constructive criticism, it's important to approach it with an open mind and gratitude. Listen carefully to their feedback, ask clarifying questions if needed, and reflect on how you can apply their suggestions to improve your work. Responding positively can foster a collaborative environment and strengthen your professional relationships. Remember, constructive criticism is meant to help you grow.
As a friend, you should be honest right? So just be honest, straight forward, tell them exactly what you're feeling. However I'd advise not dumping the name of a bad friend upon them, give constructive criticism or things will not get better, infact may even deteriorate.
If it is constructive criticism then take it and learn from if. It helps to write it down and come back to if as you may be a bit put off by the manner in which it was delivered or from whom it was given. If it isn't constructive criticism you should take it politely and analyze the way or reason one was giving the criticism (a bad day, frustrated with your performance...). There may be some validity to the criticism even if it is poorly given. Take heart but don't take it to heart.
Constructive criticism is meant to provide feedback on areas for improvement in a way that is helpful and supportive. While it can sometimes be perceived as negative, the intention behind it is to help the individual grow and develop. It should be viewed as an opportunity to learn and make positive changes.
Criticism, when offered constructively, can provide valuable feedback and insights to help the individual grow and improve. It should be provided with the intention of helping the person rather than tearing them down. Constructive criticism focuses on specific behaviors or actions that can be changed, rather than attacking the person's character or identity.
When offering constructive criticism to a teammate, you should never attack their character or make personal comments, as this can lead to defensiveness and hurt feelings. It's important to focus on specific behaviors or actions rather than generalizations. Additionally, avoid delivering criticism in a public setting; instead, choose a private and supportive environment to foster open communication. Always aim to provide actionable suggestions for improvement alongside your feedback.
Start by providing specific examples of what needs improvement rather than general comments. Offer suggestions for how the individual can address the areas of concern and follow up with positive feedback to balance the criticism.
1. Giving positive feedback.2. Constructive criticism is always better then negative.3. Sarcasm should be used very carefully while motivating someone.
Constructive criticism is criticism kindly meant that has a goal of improving some area of another's person's life or work. Often constructive criticism refers specifically to the critique of someone else's written or artistic work, in perhaps a teacher/student setting, that would allow that person to further improve the work or to improve their approach to future endeavors. However, constructive criticism can also apply to a critical reasoned analysis of a person's behavior, as in a patient/therapist setting or a group therapysetting. Parents also try to employ constructive criticism to help their children improve their lives. The trouble with constructive criticism is that not all people are receptive to it. They may either feel their self-esteem shrinking under criticism, or they may feel that all criticism is negative. This can destroy the intent of constructive criticism. Further, not all people who think they are employing constructive criticism are actually being helpful. They may think all criticism is helpful and may not spare the person any details or couch the criticism in ways least likely to make a person defensive. Communication is loaded with multiple intentions, especially in a parent/child or spousal relationships. Thus people may not know how to actually employ a critique of one aspect of a person without involving their own feelings or frustration that make a critique negative. Generally, constructive criticism should address an area that needs improving but does not speak to the person's self. Constructive criticism should be a reasoned, unemotional response in an effort to teach. In spousal communication, constructive criticism is often shaped as the "I" message: "I feel X, when you say Y." In parental relationships, constructive criticism generally works best when the timing is right. A child who has just lost a game, for instance, might be better served by encouraging words, rather than a performance critique. Later, one might ask the child what she thought about her performance. Asking what was the best thing she did and what was her weakest moment can often open a conversation up to a non-negative way of helping a child improve. Many children know exactly what they did wrong in a game, struck out, dropped a ball, etc, and would rather talk about how to fix it, than to be told what they already know. A similar approach is taken between a therapist and a client. The therapist usually resists direct criticism but helps the client find ways to talk about behaviors and solve problems. This kind of relationship bases its approach on the theory that the therapist best serves the client by helping them identify and resolve problems and issues, instead of pointing out the issues and presenting a solution to the client. In teacher/student relationships, constructive criticism tends to be far more helpful than a blunt critique of a student's defects. Questions on a paper and also praise in some areas can make constructive criticism easier to receive. Although, some students do jump to the point and want to immediately know what they did wrong. Some teachers provide very helpful guidelines prior to a student writing a paper or essay. Telling the student ahead of time that the paper must have five paragraphs, a clear thesis statement, a conclusion, etc, often eliminates problems before they occur. If a student has then not fulfilled the requirements of the essay, help can be given in the areas where the student's performance is weak. In all cases, constructive criticism runs the danger of being perceived as negative. In these situations, it is unlikely that any criticism will actually provide help. Even when a person tries to present criticism in a non-emotional way, it may still be considered a personal attack. The only way to approach this is by truly being constructive, kind and helpful, and realizing that not all people are going to appreciate what you might have to say.
