Sometimes, you try so hard to not be an asshole, you become an asshole.

I have a major phobia when it comes to being critical of people I care about and like. It is a regrettable trait that has caused me trouble more than once in this life, and I fear it will continue to.

you mean you are scared to be critical of other people? or that you are scared of them being critical of you?

I just hesitate to be critical of people I like, even if it is justified. I hate hurting feelings. So I wait and don't say anything and it builds up and in the long run the problem gets worse. If I don't like or care about a person, I will absolutely be critical and not care at all. I don't really fear criticism much myself.
