THIS Increase Distance in a Relationship | Jay Shetty

Criticism ends up making someone feel so far away from you. Criticism increases distance in a relationship. It pushes someone so far away because you've made them feel unworthy, unwanted, and not enough. And again, I'm not saying the opposite is praise your partner, tell them really nice things about themselves, but there's a way to communicate about certain challenges they're going through. It's not in the moment saying, Hey, I didn't get the job. Oh yeah, well, better luck next time. So there's criticism either way. And I think we do this because we want to be honest with our partners or we want to tell them the truth. We don't want to lie to them or most of the time, it's because we're hard on ourselves. We're criticizing ourselves for not achieving what we wanted. And now we project that criticism onto our partner for what they wanted.
