Psychology

I learned in psychology class today that people who frequently express negative criticism are exhibiting a symptom of chronic low self esteem. How does that make you feel, /prog/?

FUCK YOU

Everyone on /prog/ is HIGHLY self loathing. Whats new?

You dirty son of a bitch, you stole my comment.

If I wanted an armchair psychologist, I'd go to xkcdforums.

I learnt from reading thelastpsychiatrist.com that everyone is a narcissist.

Well, in my psychology class, my professor told me that black people are black because of the sun not because of genetics.

Of course, every black baby is born white, at which point their skin instantly tans black because of the light.
This happens completely randomly, as skin colour is not dictated by genetics.
It just appears really, really, really coincidental that 99.9% of black babies are born to black parent(s).
This is why sometimes black people give birth to albino babies, these albino babies were not affected by the random chance of their skin tanning instantly, even though they were born to black parent(s).
Thus it is proven that genetics do not play a part in skin colour.

How does that make you feel, /prog/?
If you were so smart as i, you could deduce that from your own text.

negative criticism
Please, show us an example of positive criticism.

You've never heard of positive criticism?

Both positive (approval, praise) and negative criticism can be constructive.

Where is the criticism in "approval, praise"? You're just agreeing, that shows that you've no thoughts of your own.

>>16
Semantic arguments just make you look autistic.
This kind of nonsense is all too common on /prog/.  
I doubt you are unable to understand the concept of positive criticism.

>>17
Please, avoid ad hominem.

Well, don't be a douche.
