Example

Has this happened to you before? It has to me, and unfortunately, this behavior is quite typical of critical and querulous people. No matter what you say, critical people will always find a way to bring down the conversation. You can’t remember the last time they gave you a compliment or positive feedback. They tend to scrutinize and nitpick on every little issue, after which they would harp on it and offer unwanted, negative thoughts.
