Constructive Criticism

Recently, it has come to my attention that I've been scrutinized on just about everything. My work habits, my attitude, my relationships. Everything. People have their own opinions about me and I know they're entitled to that. However, I do have a problem with people not telling me about my flaws or things to improve on.

Maybe it's because most people don't know me too well. They don't know how I'd react. I'm the type of person that will take criticism and use it to my improve myself. I'd rather not hear the negatives about me through the grapevine because it makes me wonder why someone wouldn't say it to my face. If people really did care about their peers and co-workers, wouldn't they point out things to fix and improve on?

Maybe I have too high expectations because many people are too shy and afraid of the repercussions. However, let it be known to those that are reading this that I'm not afraid of what you have to say. In fact, I'd appreciate it if you'd mention it to me. Be brutally honest. Lay it out on me. I'll hold that person in higher regard cause they actually cared to point out my flaws in an attempt to help me fix them.

Lastly, if there's something that irks me don't hold it against me if I tell you. My only intention is to show that I care enough to help you improve as a person. Hopefully that isn't too much to ask. That's all I've got to say about that subject.
