This is a problem that afflicts us today because we spend too much time locked up, this begins to make social relationships difficult and this can have a negative impact that both virtual or social distance learning can have on the development of skills both social and adult. Some research indicates that prisoners, soldiers, astronauts, hermits have lost their social skills, however this does not mean that they are lost but that at the time of carrying them out, these people feel anxious, uncomfortable, intolerant socially speaking, even people more introverts always yearn to be accompanied. This can have some consequences because the brain interprets being in company as a biological signal such as thirst or hunger, and by not having this interaction we can start to have cognitive, emotional, physiological, and psychological problems. This is why I have come to the conclusion that we have to talk more with our loved ones to keep our social skills as agile as possible during this little social time and so when normality arrives again, we are prepared for this emotional shock.

Criticism Is Not Feedback

Criticism Is Not Feedback | The Psychogenyx News Feed | Scoop.it
There’s a huge difference between feedback and criticism. Feedback is helpful and constructive; criticism is hurtful and damaging.
Alexander Püschel's curator insight, February 21, 2017 6:16 AM
Allzuoft begegnet uns in im Arbeitsalltag schlichte Herabwürdigung getarnt als "konstruktive Kritik". Kritikfähigkeit ist hingegen ein wichtiges Lernfeld für alle, die gemeinsam etwas erreichen wollen. Kritik im Arbeitsumfeld kann aber - im Sinne des Wortes - leicht mißverstanden werden. Es hilft niemandem, wenn man bei handfesten Missständen um den heißen Brei herum redet. Im Gegenteil. Eine andere unerträgliche Form von Kritik ist die in "Freundlichkeit" verpackte Relativierung, die eher auf Führungsschwäche hinweist, als auf Wertschätzung. Was aber Grundlage aller Zusammenarbeit ist, miteinander Reden, gute Feedbackkultur, Wertschätzung und Ehrlichkeit, ist auch Grundlage für ein gemeinsames Wachstum. Kritik und Feedback entfalten hierbei unterschiedliche Dynamiken. Kann ich mich auf mein nächstes Feedback (als Feedbackgeber oder -nehmer) freuen?
