As well as those with body dysmorphia there are some who can't help but find fault with others. I've never seen that described as a medical condition but wonder if it could be similar to the relationship between Munchausen Syndrome and Munchausen by proxy?

IMHO, it goes way beyond that
There are the
- 'you get everything wrong'
- 'do it again, it is not good enough'
- 'Can't you do anything right?'
comments.
I'm sure that there are readers here who will have been on the wrong end of those comments.
This type of thing can get close to abuse when it never ends/happens day in,day out. Abuse does not have to be physical. Often the psychological effects of these comments can be harder to get over than that of a punch. They go right to your core.
As the Guardian article said, someone said that someone was Ugly. Often this is a joke but it can go beyond that and lead to all sorts of problems both physical and mental.
