How do I know if I am criticising someone or just sharing my views?
The face-to-face test for criticism
Many people say "I am not criticising, I only want to share my thoughts". The test is whether you could say the same words in front of that person. If you could not, you are criticising, and you have to stay firm on your path of truth.
If you can speak the same words in front of that person, you are just talking about them; if not, you are criticising them.
