Please hate me

Please hate me.  I've come to realize that friends aren't very helpful for helping you get better.  While nice is nice, it doesnt help.  If you're saying "Its good." or "Thats nice" or even "awesome picture" you are actually hurting the person more than helping them.  Get into the midset that you are their enemy, their rival.  Tell them what they're good at and point out the bad cause if you keep saying "its fine" theey can't get better.  I realize only nnow that I dont need friends as much as I thought I did.  Now I need enemies.  I needto listen to what my uncle used to say before he passed away.  "Be the CEO of your life.  Hire, layoff, and fire as you see fit."  Meaning, 'If the person is detrmental to your success, remove them, whether it be for a short while or for the rest of your life.'

I understand what you mean, but really I don't have anything to "hate" you for.

Interesting - the behavior you ask for is, ah, met poorly in many places within our fandom.  I think it is a healthy attitude in general, but I try to rot my bridges instead of burn them.
I try my best to choose my words carefully, and similarly choose to remain silent most of the time.  I wish I could provide constructive criticism everywhere it is needed, because there are some places devoid of it and some people who do not receive it.  But I can't, in most instances.  Some things I just choose to keep it positive with, because a little encouragement can make a big difference to some (most of what I say on this site is that (and, to be completely upfront, I probably won't comment at all unless it's music)).  But even that I engage in sparingly because it just..feels, y'know, kinda wrong sometimes - like, I don't want to come off as condescending.
I'm certain my reasons are shared by very few others, as they are my own, yet I feel compelled to share them.  And I feel like I'm writing too much here.  Summary:  support before pressure.  

I'll assume you're not terribly despondent since you ask for pressure.  Word of caution, though, every person should have at least one friend at all times because your mind may decide to create one for you otherwise.
