Some people claim to be able to take honest and constructive criticism sensibly and with an open mind, but i can safely say that 8 out of 10 people really do mind when others give honest criticisms.I constantly emphasise that i'm a person who's really honest. I don't like beating around the bush just to get my point across. I wasn't like that in secondary school exactly, but i seem to have changed ever since i left. Anyway, what's wrong with taking criticisms with an open mind? Unless you believe that you're perfect, and yet, nobody is perfect. Until you meet somebody who is honest and brave enough to point out truths to you, you will always think that this world was created for your accomodation. But this world is cruel, and it certainly wasn't made with you in mind, nor for anybody else. What i say may be hurting and hard to accept sometimes, but i'm not a quick-tempered person by nature, and whatever that i say, though not very pleasing to the ears, is nothing but the truth. I really don't know how to make you understand. When i'm honest, you think i'm being overly-sensitive and picky. But i'm doing all this for your own well-being. But when i try to swallow my real feelings, i feel guilty and regretful that i just let you go on ahead doing what you may think is right, but in fact, you're dead wrong. I don't want to neglect you, but i really am starting to do exactly that, because you don't seem to know or understand how i feel. Until you open up your mind and realise that this world is a lot bigger and unsafe than it is in your imagination, you will never be able to make yourself likeable to others. Take criticisms with a pinch of salt, but you of all people should understand that i gain absolutely nothing from hurting your feelings. In fact, i'm more so on the losing end than you may imagine.
