Talk:Self-criticism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I know the current article is a stub but even with that in mind most of what is there is mostly opinion, of little worth, poorly phrased, unreferenced, and does Wikipedia no favours. I am deleting the following:
Some political or religious cults also promote "self-criticism sessions" but these are more in the nature of a (possibly guilt-laden) "confession" or forced acknowledgment that one has made a mistake. However, if the self-criticism is "artificial" or forced, it is less likely to lead to correcting one's own mistakes, or to learning what ought to be learnt.
If one is incapable of criticizing oneself at all, this can lead to a false sense of confidence. But if one is too self-critical, this may be mentally or emotionally paralysing, and destroy the confidence or certainty necessary to take the actions that will correct previous mistakes.
and making some minor literary changes. 82.43.195.131 19:03, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
