That's exactly what they told me when I asked them what inhu adviced, asking them how they prefer to receive constructive criticism.

It's the same case as, how will I know if I snore if nobody tells me. Or that my breath smells like crap if nobody says so!

Thanks again!

Haha okay ... well you hit the nail on the head - it should be CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, it should not be about putting someone down or denigrating them, it's only about the work they've done and what they've produced - with the explicit goal for them to learn and improve.

That's it, the goal is to learn and improve! And that they know that's the goal too!
