Original Advice
“DONT: Avoid confusing critique with cruelty; clarify intent calmly.”
Clarify Intent, Dull the Blade
Your precision has teeth. You pick at flaws until trust frays, then call it honesty. That isn’t loyalty; that’s dominance dressed as duty. You say you’re refining them, but your tone salts the wound. Cruelty hides in your cadence, not your facts. Decide: protect the bond or prove the point. Clarify intent, calm your delivery, keep the blade for fabric, not skin.
You fix because you care, but care lands as threat when people brace for impact. Precision works only when it preserves dignity. Loyal feedback points at the process, not the person; it offers one door, not a maze. Calm speeds change. Control slows it. Be faithful to outcomes, not ego. Use timing, tone, and brevity like tools. Leave room for their yes.
