I was a topper during schooling. Still I was always scared of PTMs Because no matter if I do 99 right things My father always focused on one bad comment of the teacher. . I experienced negative criticism, Which leads you towards depression. Positive criticism is the one which shows you way towards self improvement, But I never got it. . Being a brilliant student with having negative critics at home and classmates who hate you at school for scoring good...put you in a very bad situation. . I was forced so much to study That even if he saw me having food He scolded me like I failed a maths exam. It lead to me being malnourished. . It never mattered that I was scoring great at every test, He would still tell me that I am going to fail in the upcoming test and lower my confidence beyond limits. . (There is lot more to add...)
