Constructive criticism can be defined as all the judgment that we usually make, with the aim of helping others. It is considered a mature, responsible attitude and full of respect for those who are directed.
Its value is basically based on the purpose of achieving a favorable change that benefits each of the people involved in certain circumstances, in a sense of collaboration and fundamentally respect. However, we must bear in mind that sometimes we run the risk of submitting to this single point of view, without taking into account what the needs of others really are.
Being open to seeking and obtaining constructive criticism allows us to renounce self-centeredness and arrogance, admit that we do not know everything and often need help from others, to see something that we are not capable of at a certain moment; resulting in more humble. This being an important way of obtaining learning and continuing to mature thanks to one's own experience and what it can offer us to others.
It also serves as a way to expand our point of view and become aware of what we are doing; to strengthen our actions and decision making.
To avoid harm, when making a comment, it is important to keep the following in mind: avoid generalizing your perceptions and expressing your observations in the first person, than it suggests to you individually. For example, if a person with whom you have made an appointment is often late, one way to express your discomfort would be to say: when I wait for you, after the moment we agreed, I feel disrespectful, I would like the next time you take my time consider.
Share your observations with others about what arouses pleasant feelings. Do not make negative remarks in public, keep them to be made in private, so that the person receives them as a help and not as a public criticism.
All this will contribute to having more nutritious relationships, where we have the opportunity to grow, to see each other with respect and kindness. Living together will be more pleasant for you and for those around you. Start doing it differently, dare to be the generator of changes in your environment.
Being like the majority "is safer", daring to travel in your own way, is an act of courage, because the first monster to be defeated will be the critic. You must be prepared, some will serve as a mirror, it will be smart to listen to them and others will be a test of your commitment to yourself, not to be carried away by them.
