A: John, did you hear what David said about your project presentation? He really tore into it and didn't hold back.

J: Yeah, I did. It was pretty disheartening, to be honest. I worked really hard on that project, and his criticism felt harsh. I know feedback is essential, but he should’ve known better than to deliver it so bluntly.

A: Right. It's not what he said, it’s how he said it.

J: I’m going to let him know how his words affected me and how he could have approached it differently. Perhaps he didn't realize the impact of his tone and his choice of words.

A: It's possible he didn't even realize how his delivery came across.
