Scenario

When creative groups prioritize comfort over growth

My writing group has become a place where we all give each other gentle, useless feedback because we're more invested in being liked than being helpful, and I can feel all of our work getting softer and less interesting as a result. Nobody wants to be the one who breaks the nice atmosphere by saying something true.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The desire to maintain group harmony has made honest critique impossible, undermining the group's stated purpose.
