I believe that a person who cares about you, will also care about your opinion, your feelings and your thoughts. That person will never try to restrict your dreams, goals or ambitions. However a friend or a person who cares about you must also provide you with constructive criticism whenever it is needed. Constructive criticism is also something that allows you to grow into a better person. But always be cautious and careful in giving criticism, be considerate and offer criticism in a kind way so as not to offend the person you're giving it to.
