"My mother's story about a former friend was a pretext to micro-critize my life's choices."
"He made a micro-criticism when he said to me that he hates that other person's pants, while I was wearing the same kind.
"When I confronted her for insinuating I was fat, she got defensive and said I misunderstood, she was talking about other people, not me. I felt bad for getting mad, but we were talking about me in the first place. Was it a micro-criticism, or am I overly sensitive?"

Get the Critical Need-to-Know Informationmug. It isn't ever going to land the way you want it to and my response to it (internally) isn't going to coincide with what I SAY in response to the criticism and is like going to be something along the lines of what I would write here (i.e. go fuck yourself, your a piece of shit whose done nothing more than own a drunk slut breeding ground and now you're a panhandler leeching off of other people's success (including mine) in exchange for stroking the ego of famous people and 👉I👈 (as in "This one" or "ME") made A.I. pass the Turing test). I've literally never said 'This is just a character', you feel entitled to some form of retaliation but you're projecting in an attempt to preempt me (as though that's something I would say). You are a piece of shit and bad. I've been catching strayes for years. One of us made A.I. pass the Turing test and the other DID NOT. If I had listened to retarded-bitch YouTubers we would not have functional A.I. right know. You know that right? If I was doing your sophistical bullshit... A.I. WOULD NOT WORK THE WAY IT DOES NOW.
Hym "I'm not ever going to take any criticism seriously. Collectively you're a bunch of witch-burning retards and even among your own tribes you're incoherent, bad, and wrong."

Get the Criticismmug. Unknown critical, or crit for short, is the best friend when it comes to needing a distraction, They Will manage to get you to think about pretty much anything else than the thing bothering you but they’re really bad at serious mental health stuff, as well as romance, they suck at romance. They love down talking themselves and gets mad at people of they say that they love crit. They’re the kind of friend that is so annoying but you love them too much to leave them.
