Criticism ( development ) - 'I think you should work harder there'

Mocking ( degradement ) - 'You're so foolish you follow everyones schemes!'

Always good to remember, sometimes we think they're one and the same. But we can be hurt by mocking too, it's best to analyze a mock at times. Isn't it true what they're saying atleast despite the harshness of it on you? When you've reached that zen state or calmed down, it's good to think of that.

Just helping the youth out on here. Words can be very hurtful, I know, but this'll help you through your adolescene if you can figure it out. :)
