My classmates hate me

It's not my fault, really. I just can't help it when I see something that could be better, I just want to help them fix it.

The result: I talk too much in class. The teacher doesn't say it, I'm sure she wouldn't, but I don't blame my classmates for resenting me and my big mouth.

One good rule of feedback: Don't overload people. Of course, I consider myself bulletproof in the feedback department, but others might not be...

I don't hate you. Receiving criticism is never easy, but it's necessary. You said things that needed to be said. I hope that when I bring in pages that everyone will think they're utterly perfect - but if they're not, then I want to know what I need to work on.

But then, I also tend to be very vocal in class if I feel like something needs to be addressed.

I actually felt like I learned last night from listening to criticism of other people's work, even though we were hitting the same old concepts (conflict, writing visually, etc.) I guess I was just looking at them from a slightly different angle. Also, as we discussed the teasers in class, I compared the teasers from my Veronica Mars spec and my Lost spec to what we were discussing.
