Think of someone you respect, admire and maybe at some time provided you with constructive criticism that though you were being criticized of something you were emotionally attached to, the criticism did not deflate your enthusiasm or discourage you from continuing on.

Every time in the future when you are facing a circumstance with someone where you are offering constructive criticism, ask yourself what would that person who once (or many times) provided criticism to you without deflating your enthusiasm or discouraging you, and emulate them in your reply.

My late brother was the best I've ever seen in replying to "what do you think about this?" type of musical questions. I always try to paraphrase how I think he would answer.
