Critical Criticism
Why do women “nag,” while men belittle?
There is some truth to the idea that clear, critical feedback can help us see what and how things can be improved within us and around us. However, excessive criticism in the form of nagging and belittling is neither useful nor fruitful. It can only confirm or create a sense of worthlessness, both in ourselves and in others.
At the Paradox-x workshop, we explore the reasons behind our need to find faults, criticize, and belittle both ourselves and others. There are slight differences in how men and women do this (although sometimes we switch roles).
In order to overcome excessive criticism, it is necessary to dive into the centuries-old legacy that influences our behaviors, as well as the reasons why we personally developed excessive criticism.
Everyone who wishes to attend is welcome.
