There is a difference between feedback, comments, suggestions and order. Feedback is seeing what others see of you, it is about them not you. Feedback cannot be wrong. Comments are the opinions of others about you. Comments can be wrong or correct. Your mama lied to you when she said you're the best and smartest and cutest. We all make mistakes. Making mistakes is not the problem, the problem is quitting or not solving the mistakes. Exaggerating facts, good or bad, is the opposite of clarity and causes living and believing a fantasy and not the reality which will come in conflict with reality sooner or later. Two main reasons for giving feedback is to improve or to reinforce a behavior. When giving a feedback, don't worry about the words you choose as much, worry about where it comes from, a place love and care for the other party, This is a funny statement: If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything. Then who is supposed to let us know of our flaws? Stats show People who seek genuine feedback, are happier and more successful with their job and get higher performance reviews. Feedback is at the junction of 2 core human beings, at the one hand we want to learn and grow and the other hand the need to be accepted and respected the way we are now.
