I often see people who has this habit of harshly criticizing others. The bottom line is when you criticize someone, it should not affect your peace of mind.
Again the problem is when you sometimes speak your mind, people take it otherwise and feel offended. I believe in a conflict free atmosphere and try to bring a win win situation for both the parties. But again, harsh criticism is also important to improve the situations.
How to elaborate that ? I don't know. For me the words," review, objection and assessment are all synonyms to criticism".
What could be the exact nature of criticism ? Should it be harsh, when you address to a stranger? Or Should it be polite disagreement ? Does temper play an important role in criticism ? What factors supports for a constructive criticism?
Thanks for reading. Please share your valuable thoughts guys.

@stapllotik It's something like: "You know what you might consider doing....?" Or, "I like your plan, but maybe you should add this or that, etc." IMO, it's criticism that doesn't make the other person mad.

@stapllotik The criticism should be with concrete information about the particular concern against the person.

I don't think most of us are in any position to be dishing out critism but it should always be given kindly.

If we are criticizing someone, it should be constructive criticism so that s/he could improve himself/herself and it should be conveyed politely.
When we raise two fingers towards others, one finger remains towards us, so we should be careful in criticizing others.
No one likes to be criticized, very few are open hearted to accept criticism.

Criticism should not involve one's feeling. It should be neutral.

@stapllotik I could also use an example. You didn't give one in your post. This is not meant as a criticism. It would just help me understand your viewpoint more.

That's a good way but I also feel it is a difficult proposition sometimes. Very few people take criticism with grace and appreciation

Agree. Constructive criticism is a con, and it’s the tool of a critic. Any disagreement?
