Feedback is devilishly hard to give AND receive. One of my favourite mentors said "Feedback is someone who cares enough about you to piss you off while trying to help you be better."

Right? I feel like way too many people were never taught what constructive criticism is or the purpose. They're not looking to improve or grow, just empty platitudes or validation. Which is fine and totally valid, but maybe just COMMUNICATE THAT? And give people genuine feedback when they ASK?
That person possibly never learned tact or to tailor his comments to the person and caring about how they might take things.
