The Importance of Criticism in Adulthood

I didn't meet expectations at times I gradually came to hate myself and found ways to limit external criticism by dimming my light. Many parents who are very critical do so because they're terrified that their child is basically going to end up just like then especially if you are in your firties. Criticism isn't bad but when criticism forms the bread and butter of a conversation and a relationship it sets a bad tone. It's a journey to entangle yourself from the pain of childhood criticism.
