How To Give Constructive Criticism

Have you ever tried criticizing without sounding critical? Constructive criticism requires some conscious training, or it can be learned even a few seconds: it all depends on your intention. What is your intention when you criticize somebody? Is it to nitpick and annoy the person by finding faults, or you want that person to really improve?

Let’s assume you criticize to help the other person. Even then sometimes unintentionally we end up hurting the person at the receiving end of criticism. The best way to avoid such a situation is to think why you are actually criticizing. You should also keep in mind that most people, unless they are your religious devotees, don’t take criticism kindly.
