I feel that this could be recontexualized for the person who is receiving feedback.
If you don’t take things pwrsonally, and you take things one at a time, there’s no reason to let yourself feel overwhelmed or attacked in many situations where at first you might be inclined to do so.
Specifically I disagree with point #2. I absolute love it when testing/QC labels every single instance of a minor mistake. It saves me from having to go through and find each place where it happened, and it lets me check off a little Asana task as complete each time I make a minor correction.
Feedback like “it looks like you made this mistake a number of times” can be just as condescending, with the added frustration that I now need to go try to find everywhere I might have made the mistake.
When they do the work of naming each instance, they are saving me time.
So I’m wondering how much of this is about putting the burden of not feeling attacked on the reviewer, and neglecting the role of the reviewee?
