Don't abuse your friends and expect them to consider it crit

Summary

This quote suggests that mistreating or taking advantage of one's friends and then disguising it as constructive criticism is unjustifiable. It implies that true friendship involves respect, support, and kindness, rather than manipulation or harm. Expecting friends to tolerate abusive behavior under the guise of providing feedback is both insensitive and unfair. Instead, the quote encourages treating friends with empathy and understanding, avoiding any form of abuse while embracing constructive criticism with a genuine intention to help and improve.
