The implication that people who complain about "negative energy" are making is that negative energy has no value or negative value; it doesn't. I'd be willing to say that skepticism has far more value than pats on the back. Children need pats on the back, not adults.
- eesmith 8y agoI do not like your last sentence. The implication is that that those who do not like negative criticism are immature. There are many times when adults have an emotional need for a pat on the back. I know I have that feeling sometimes. Here's one I came across just the other day - https://youtu.be/UPS4nxI0b9g?t=826 https://youtu.be/UPS4nxI0b9g?t=826 . "But there's no one here to pat me on the back. It sucks." I also think there are times when negative energy has negative value. The same person, in the video at https://youtu.be/4nqJiBRNQuw?t=855 https://youtu.be/4nqJiBRNQuw?t=855 , after many frustrating attempts at trying to make a Kit-Kat from scratch, says "I want you to know that I can accept zero criticism right now." I respect her for recognizing that need and expressing it, and for her co-workers to acknowledge that need and support her.
