The article Why It's So Hard to Hear Negative Feedback resonated with me as I am also someones that tends to tense up or be anxious about negative news or even the possibility of bad news. This could be anything from being really nervous when checking grades or going to have to talk to my boss if I made it a mistake. I valued the article's tips to rethink how to approach negative news, whether I am giving out feedback or receiving out. I do agree that ultimately my response is up to me and my state of mind. I also found it interesting how the article noted the cause for the harsh feedback is related to how negative news is delivered. This was impactful to me and has made me realize how my choice of words can have a greater effect than the news itself. The second article I read was Silence the Critical Voices in Your Head by Sabina Nawaz. This article was similar to the first one regarding how negative feedback can be harmful in terms of how one perceives it, but I appreciated how the author gave constructive ways to approach negative feedback and criticism to make it for the better. In particular it is acknowledging that there is positive in the negative feedback. There is something that can be taken away such as having the opportunity to learn and improve upon past mistakes.
