although, that damage might well be temporary... and if the person accepts a correction then we have created a better future :)

Yes! I personally really have appreciated the times I've been called out on Twitter and in general — really enhanced my worldview. In fact just today I sent a PM thanking somebody for telling me I was wrong on something almost exactly a year ago (some anniversaries suck).

Fully agreed. Including that some anniversaries suck. Being wrong can really be eye-opening. Problem is how does one learn that one is wrong when one thinks one is right, if no-one tells you? That's why it's so important that we trust each other to tell each other truth.

Exactly. In the case I mentioned I realised it on my own and so I PMed the person to tell them I realised they were right all along, but like you said, in many cases we NEED to be told "You are wrong because X".

For me it is the mark of a true friend if they'll tell you painful truths when needed. Not to harm, but actually out of care for your well being.

It is also the mark of a true friend, IMO, if this relationship is mutual and reciprocal. That is, that both value openness, care and truth.

We should also value each other as individuals first. Openness can mean different things and can be realized differently. But trust is hard to build without mutual respect.

maybe part of getting to know each other should be learning the ways we accept critique1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

Of course. Also we can always improve how we offer critique.

True — dealing with critique is always tough, especially on a text-only medium.
