“Critical” means *critiquing* here. Critical thinking means you think about some conclusion, statement, method, mode of behavior, etc. in such a way as to “What could make this even better?” or “What are the limits of this?” or “What is particularly bad about this?”. It is very hard to do well, which is why critics are usually experts in the relevant field, and are the agents that drive/inspire new breakthroughs and/or discoveries in the end.
Critical thinking cannot be avoided if you seek improvement. Many however are afraid of it, they think its harsh or mean, so even privately they stop reflecting critically on themselves.
