There's a tik tok video about knowing when to time your criticism. He spoke about going to a friend's play and he thought it was so terrible. However at the end of the show he held his comment and just said something like thanks for inviting me because she was so happy
After a few days, he reached out and asked "can I now give you my honest feedback on the play?".
It's about being emotionally intelligent and knowing time and place. Being 'honest' in that moment would have been hurtful and unnecessary. I wish we could all learn that.
One of my gfs did surgery recently, so for the past 3 weeks I've been taking her son to school in the mornings. She just sent this to me. He did it on his own. He only wanted help to spell Sue. ๐ฅน๐ฅน
