Thanks for sharing this insight, Daniil.

Not agreeing with feedback does not mean no value at all.

I had a few times where feedback was weird and hard to digest. I left the conversation with that WTF feeling. But after taking time to reflect, it didn't sound too bad.

There is always a lesson you can take from it. Maybe, as you said, it is a hidden trait or a misperceived intention.

I like the fact you "ask" to take notes. I'd say: Take notes! If you need more context, ask for it. Maybe an observation, a moment, or whatever you need to paint the picture and help you digest. Then take notes!

Regardless, be grateful.

Feedback is hard to get but harder to share. Appreciate for being cared for.

I love what you said, feedback is hard to give, not just receive. That part gets overlooked.

There’s one more piece people miss:

Sometimes, feedback isn’t about you at all.

It’s a reflection of their stress, insecurity, or blind spots.

But even then, it still teaches you how to work with them better.
