Someone doing your self-doubt's job, but out loud and with worse timing.
means A judgment of something's merits or flaws, usually the flaws, delivered as an evaluation rather than a hug.
from From Greek kritikos, 'able to discern or judge,' from krinein, 'to separate, decide, judge' — the same root that gives us 'crisis' and 'critical.' The word entered English through Latin in the 1600s, originally tied to literary and artistic judgment before widening to cover anyone judging anything, including, eventually, your haircut.
