This is the epitome of the sentiment: those interested in the pursuit of “hard truths” are only extrinsically motivated to find fault in others and gleefully “correct” another’s “faulty” self perception. Never intrinsically motivated to better themselves…

Tell me more about how everyone else in the “modern world” is the problem…

Everything in this thread converges on generalizations and platitudes.

I've lived long enough to have learned to present feedback to others diplomatically and inasmuch as possible kindly.

But when it comes to me, dear Lorde, just get to a constructive point quickly and directly. Takes me a while to coach my mentors :) but life is easier for all once they believe me.

The point being, there's all sorts, including those who genuinely want "hard truths" without looking to only correct others.
