We all know someone who never uses a kind word. A constant critic is an expert at pinpointing flaws and mistakes and often exaggerates them. Whether it’s your looks, your work, or even your personality, nothing looks good enough for them. This constant negativity can seriously damage your self-esteem and mental health. Giving a persistent critic a second chance often means exposing yourself to more negativity and skepticism. Remember that constructive criticism is very different from relentless negativity.
