How well do you handle Criticism?

I also find criticism very hard as the people who gives out the criticism are the people who should take a closer look at their lives rather than mine most of the time and that i must say do make me rather angry.Criticism on the other hand from other people makes me a bit angry,but i do think that i am able to take it.

Life is about learning and growing. Everyone has a different view. We teach each other through interaction. Criticism can hurt. I don't get angry. I take a few steps back and analyze what was said. Sometimes what they say is right. Sometimes what they say is out of hate or jealousy. I try to learn something out of every interaction.

yeah i hate criticism sometimes because i feel like they are just trying to hurt my feelings and its doesn't help me in any way. i get judged all the time and its not a good feelings. so i handle criticism harshly sometimes by getting mad and throwing or fit or sometimes even crying and breaking down because i feel picked on by everyone, the world. thats how i handle it its tough but sometimes we just have to be strong.

Honestly, I can't handle it well too. I feel it as an offends to me and eventhough I smile but actually I feel angry. I know it's not good because we need to open ourselves from others opinion but I still can't. Same with you, I wanna be prefect and when I have done hard effort and all just criticism me, I feel so sad and that they don't know anything! But I try to accept criticism now. I admit that I still feel angry, but I will think about it again when I'm alone in my room and if that critic is right, I will accpet it and not angry anymore to that person. I will try to do it better the next time

my parents always criticize me. i hate them. they are rude, selfish, and unkind. they give birth to me because they need someone to use, to criticize under the name of love. they are wolves in sheep skin.

I am a person who cannot take criticism very well- I have a messed up way of thinking, but whenever I do something i expect myself to do it perfectly. So whenever i receive criticism, my whole mood is just brought down; I feel like I have failed completely. Being a bad handler of criticism is not a good thing-it's something we should all avoid, but maybe that's just the way humans are.

In a word, poorly...especially if the person offering it sugar coats it. That's like saying "not only did you do X wrong, but I think you cannot take crioticism, so I have to molly-coddle you".What I prefer is the direct approach: "Brace yourself, because I have something critical to tell you: you screwed up on X." Normally I know that I messed up before anyone else does, and the truth is I'm my harshest critic. Most people know that there is nothing they can say that I haven't already told myself. It's only cases where I'm in true denial that I need to hear it, and in those cases I need it to be both barrels, right straight between the eyes. I don't like hearing it, get pretty defensive, and sometimes amke things worse by throwing it back at the person who's leveling with me. Then I want some time to think - go for a walk or something, decide how to respond. I sometimes decide that the person was wrong, but usually not. Usually I realize I've messed up. Twice, actually, once for whatever I did wrong and twice for not recognizing my own failing. Once I've admitted or denied it, I decide how to resolve the issue. I work pretty relentlessly at fixing it. Sometimes I make apologies; sometimes I figure I'm only part of the problem and fixing it is enough of an apology. The toughest ones for me are the ones where I've said something that hurt someone; some words cannot be "un-said". You cannot fix that. You live, you try things,you screw up, you try to fix it, you apologize, hopefully you learn and grow. Then go back to living your life.It's okay to reflect on past mistakes, but develop rituals of 'now I'm done with that' and don't obsess over them. You can clean up spilt milk, but you can't get it back inthe bottle. Accept it. I'm pretty quick with the clean-up, once I've acknowledged the spill, but the acceptance is tough.

hello cloud. By getting angry you are serving their purpose.Its better you just learn to neglect it.Criticism should be constructive.If somebody is telling me seriously about my mistakes when we are alone i consider it.I dont like people who criticize me in public just to make me feel down.I just neglect such a people.

i think that somebody always analyse something whatever what you do or not do,so i think that this is very normal thing happened like this,i often treat it quitely and don't care about it,something happened,something can be ended,so time can confide this and disppeared one day,i don't care it,so this thing disappeared quickly after several day,i think that i could not do that thing every excessive, and somebody could not crticise with it.as human we should treat it quitely and don't let this interupt owned life.

i admit receiving criticism is very hard. at that moment my cheeks will flush, i'll feel bad, sad, angry, disappointed at myself. A LOT of stuff. but after a few moment.. or DAYS i tell myself its for the good and get over it. and improve myself. We need criticism in life to move forward. not many people give you honest opinions these days, so when you did receive some, we should appreciate it. good topic.

Yes I also lose my temper when I am criticized by someone, but do not let it out, I either give a strong comment back or just ignore the person who criticizes me. I know my limitations and how well I can do anything assigned to me.

Very badly, to be honest. Even if I'm wrong, I just hate being criticized by someone. I guess it takes a lot of self-belief and determination to put up a strong face against criticism. I'll like to change and do try to make a difference, though in most cases it doesn't work.

i do not accept it, either. those who really love will not criticize me at all. they will praise me and encourage me. if they do not like me in some aspects, they will itell me . you know, my parents always praise me. and i do not like them at all. i have intuition. i know they are rude, unkind, and selfish. they criticize me with some purpose. they want to discourage me and make me obey them. they are so ugly.

Criticism doesn't really bother me, on occassion it will, but for the most part I'm ok with it. I think it's because I have the mentality that I know I'm not perfect, and if I'm made aware of my flaws I can work on getting rid of them.

Same here…a kind of uncontrollable rage builds up inside me the moment somebody starts criticizing. I have thought over it for quite sometime and I think its not the criticism actually, but the way its put across that makes all the difference. In my childhood, my mom used to criticize me over everything and made it sound as if I was an absolutely worthless as*s! And of course, I was too mortified to protest (she wouldn’t have listened in any case)…that thing stayed back with me for a long long time and anytime anybody would not approve of me, I suffered from frustration, anger, despair…I felt as if the entire world was conspiring against me…a poor, defenseless girl. And the worst part was that I never knew how to defend myself in the face of consistent and deliberate criticism…you know how sometimes people will criticize you just to get even! But constructive criticism is definitely good and I have been fortunate enough to come across people who have influenced me positively. They have not overtly criticized me yet pointed out my shortcomings in such a way that I have myself offered solutions to overcome them. And no, nobody who has traveled the path of life, is a sore loser. We all are fighting our own battles day in day out and it requires a lot of strength just to hold on and not let go…letting go would have been so much easier for a lot many things. And being comfortable is the biggest thing to me…within a parameter of caring for friends and families, I would still maintain my comfort level… i.e. I would never go out of my way to just offer help simply coz it would create a lot of tension in my life while the help might not be appreciated all the time.

I would love to say that i can handle criticism just fine. But like you, you angers me. although i do everything i can to not show that anger! ive never thought about whether or not i feel vulnerable though. but i guess it does kind of make you feel vulnerable when you learn that there isnt as great as an image or impression (etc) to you that YOU thought lol! urgh just thinking about that is rather agitating isnt it? besides...i am practically perfect in every way LMAO! here is my carpet bag and parrot umbrella to prove it!

Hi There I think were all have been criticize one way or another be it fairly or unfairly and this creating stress in our heart and mind.Critics usually are for dragging one down and unwanted criticism are almost based out of jealousy.I always get mad when somebody criticise me i forgot that it is only words like the saying actions speak louder than words.If it is only words why do i let it affects me.The more sucessful one get the more criticism one will get that just the way it is.I think the key to handling criticism is to not take it personally cheers!

I think no one like criticism. I also like compliment, because it makes me feel great about myself. While for criticism, sometimes it will hurt you deeply, it will make you feel unconfident about yourself. But sometimes criticism is good for us.

I don't handle it real well, either. I try not to get incredibly upset, because really what is criticism other than a person's opinion? But it still bugs me, especially when I'm particularly proud of something I've done and someone cuts me down. I guess for me, the line is drawn where I can tell if the person is offering the criticism constructively because they honestly want to see me do better, or if they're just doing it to tear me down and build themselves up.

If it is I care about people who criticize me personally,I would feel very embarrassed,but I will reflect on my own .If criticism behind me,I would feel very sad and angry about it.I may feel that I am betrayed. If it is what other people say,I would not care,and pretending not hear.Going its own way,let other people to say.
