Praise and criticism: giving and taking feedback, sentence 3
Not every comment is feedback: a stranger online writing "cringe" is not trying to help, so you can block, report and tell an adult, and listen to people who want you to improve.
Who acts: comment, stranger, you, adult, people · What happens: not be, not try, help, block, report, tell · To what, where: feedback, you · Speech: someone speaks here
