Psychology of biased critics

'Happy people will always encourage. Successful people will always support. Attractive people will always compliment. Those who have nothing to offer will always bring you down.'   The above social media feed makes it easier to understand the psychology of biased critics. Whether it is an official meeting, parent-teacher conference or any of life's adventures, discouraging words start dripping from the mouths of those who are unhappy, unsuccessful and ultimately unattractive.

In a belittling criticism, the critic desires pathologically to assert their ...

The arrival of a fleet of green electric buses promised by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leaders for Muzaffarabad has sparked a fresh political and legal debate just days before the first phase of the 2026 Azad Jammu and Kashmir general elections, with the AJK Election Commission warning that no new development schemes, financial packages or government resources can be introduced or used during the election period in violation of the code of conduct.
