i always ask for contructive criticism. i can't get this from people i know personally, because friends always say "oh yeah it's great". so i post on here in the hope of getting real critique. i make sure i write the question accordingly - e.g. "can i hear some comments/critique for this poem?"there are, however, some who just want praise and, as you put it, high-fives of support. these are usually identifiable by questiosn such as "do you like my poem" or "rate my poem". usually, you have to judge for yourself in each question. if you're unsure, maybe it's best to skip it.
