Be kind! Kind words bring life, but cruel words crush your spirit. I'm sure everyone here has been hurt by someone somewhere saying cruel words to you. No one likes the pain associated with that, so why is it ok to inflict it on others? In doing so, you are making yourself as bad as those cruel people that you have had experience with.

Don't be so selfish and look at it from their point of view. Would you want to have someone cruely disdain something you worked hard on and are trying to make it good(whether it be fanart, a task at a job, schoolwork or whatever)? No! So treat the same person the way you want to be treated. Makes sense, and if more people did this the world would be a better place.

Now there is such a thing as "tough love". In which you are honest to help the said person improve. This, unlike many of you think, needn't be all the time. However, it is required in life at times so the person doesn't go on thinking they are awesome when they are not(as seen in American Idol LOL). When giving "tough love" or constructive criticism it is best if you try to help them out. If you really don't like it you would do your best to try to make it better, unless you don't really care, in which case you should not even be responding to it. And maybe your best is just telling them where they could improve, THAT'S FINE as long as you're not cruel.

Maybe the person over reacts and is overly sensitive. Well if you just say "I don't like it, it could use improvements" and point out the flaws and that upsets them then so be it, at least you still kindly helped them out and there is no reason to continue discussing it.
