Whenever I go to someone for advice or an opinion on something I'm working on, I look for people who aren't afraid to tell me I've done something wrong, something looks bad, or the whole idea is just plain garbage. Instead, what you get is people half-heartedly telling you, "Oh, that's really something."

I'm not a baby, people. Tell me what you hate about it so I can make it better! You can't fix bugs if no one reports them.

Unfortunately, this mentality gets me into a lot of trouble with my girlfriend, who is a Graphic Designer. She'll show me something she's working on, and I tell her what I would want to hear: "That face looks funny", or "I don't like that colour". What she takes from it is, "I hate everything about what you just showed me."
