If you feel praising in public is the only way (i.e. criticism should always take place privately), you likely were given too many participation trophies as a child

depends on the context The reason why you "praise in public, punish in private" is bc for all but the most enlightened/self-assured people, criticism triggers a (pretty reasonable) flight or fight response If your goal is actually constructive change in others, why would you set them up for failure with your tactics?

Agree, context most definitely matters If your goal is pushing for constructive change in others, and attempts at criticizing in private are met with deflection and gaslighting, for example.. then criticizing in public seems totally reasonable to me
