Humans are inherently prone to errors and aren't perfect but imagine being constantly reminded of your mistakes. That definitely can be an uncomfortable feeling. Criticism doesn't only affect your self-esteem. It can also generate enmity between you and the one criticizing. Many argue that constructive criticisms are healthy, but the truth is criticism itself is harmful.
If you're in a relationship with someone who's critical of things you do and vocal about it, that can completely destroy any relationship. It is not productive, creates animosity, and you start doubting your ability to succeed in your relationship. 'Is there too much criticism in your relationship quiz 'is designed to give you advice on that.
