Constructive criticism is a selfless act that you perpetrate with compassion and kindness directly on to the other person. You do it because you care and you might have some insight that would make this other person and/or what they’re doing, better.
Criticizing someone to a third party is gossip. Going over someone’s head with criticism is a selfish act that’s about you. It’s about you needing to feel superior. It’s about you needing to STEAL someone’s joy because you have none.
The former says that you have courage. The latter says that you are a knuckle-dragging, yellow-bellied, scum-sucker.
