User blog comment:Princess Callie/Why you shouldn't feel bad about criticism/@comment-5825217-20140727155156

Thing is...no matter what you say, some people just won't take criticism. Constructive criticism is something that one should take as a non-malicious suggestion for their improvement.

...Actually, that sounds bad too. But that's what it is, and that's what these people refuse to interpret it as. I went and read that thread, and the kid said he expected "a mixture of insults and compliments." Posting a story to a Writer's Workshop board isn't something you do for reviews. Reviews come later (I was on fanfiction.net when I was younger [I still have stuff, but I rarely update anything], and it took me a while to polish anything to get to the point of having reviews. Next thing I knew I was getting ten reviews a chapter). Criticism is what you get when you're asking for improvement.

Welcome to the internet, kids.
