I would like my mind to be such that anybody could just say whatever they think is best for maximizing information flow and I could just handle that information appropriately, but it seems like I’m not able to do this.
I think this is not realistic to achieve (although partial success can be achieved).
What I would recommend instead is to separate “honest feedback” from “emotional support”—and to have nonzero amount of the latter. Not sure what would be the proper social ritual to achieve this.
