Nice post @kyriacos, it's funny, I never noticed your critical posts or thought you were an asshole. That's probably because I was being too critical as well, and was lumped in that same asshole boat!
You're right though, people don't take criticism well, praise is always preferred, which is part of the reason I tried to add my constructively criticising voice into the mix. However that just ended up with a few whales that used to vote for me ignoring me.
Ultimately, we do need criticism in our lives, otherwise we just end up surrounded by yes men. I like you am trying to just eek out a niche for myself, and will keep on trying to be constructive, without being too critical.
Anyways, good to see you up there, with lots of votes, SBD, and for me most importantly, views :-)
Steem on my friend, Steem on.
Yeap, criticism might not take one far due to vested interests. Everybody wants the truth but then that somebody turns to be an asshole. Most human relationships are based on superficiality I guess. People avoid friction altogether.
Thank you for you support. The "critical road" might take longer to bloom but it is more self satisfying. There is nothing more valuable than owning yourself
Wise words indeed :-)
