Do you find it difficult to criticize people and get angry?

I do..and do you have a lack of social skills in general?

Yeah,
im too much of a coward to deal with confrontation when it arises. I've found that i take my anger out the wrong people, the ones who are undeserving of it. the people that lvoe me unconditioanlly, as opposed to the ones that actually aggravate me.

I think "criticizing" people is wrong, period. No one likes to be criticized, & it doesn't solve anything, anyway. Even if my SA would allow me to, I wouldn't do it.

I can't deal with confrontation, though... At all. Just knowing I have to confront, or talk to someone about something, causes me serious anxiety & panic attacks. I also can't stick up for myself. Because of my SA, people often think of me as rude &/or mean, because I don't talk & I'm so reserved. I've been called a b*tch & all kinds of other names because of it, & I never stick up for myself. It just causes panic, anxiety & for me to get really upset. I've even cried before lol. I'm just too sensitive.

I'd tend to agree that angry criticism is wrong (though sometimes you have to get someone's attention somehow). Constructive criticism is really important though, and I for one appreciate people being constructively critical of me more than I appreciate them pretending not to notice the problem. Nobody would ever learn anything if their teachers never criticized their work.

Other way round for me. I find it hard not to get angry when someone criticises me.
