The Trouble with Negative Feedback

Do you know the real trouble with negative feedback? I’ll give you a hint. It’s not the feeling of rejection or the spirit of criticism that crushes your ginger little heart.

The trouble with most negative feedback is that it’s often not given at all. They say nothing…

And quietly put your book in a Goodwill box.

And don’t recommend your thing to friends.

And don’t show up at your concert.

And don’t share your project via word of mouth to their friends. It just dies.

They give you the death blow of non-participation. It gives new meaning to the phrase “silent but deadly.”
