How well do you accept criticism?

Being a part of Deviant Art and being a "writer" has really opened me up to criticism. I know better than to get mad at someone who is trying to help by pointing out what can be done better, or what was done well. I actually prefer this to the usual comments I get on DA of "It's awesome!" Thank you, but that doesn't help at all. I think some people are afraid to give actual crits because they don't want to get anyone mad or upset anyone. I can't stand it when someone just disses something I made with nothing to back it up. Or acts like they know everything and is doing me a favor by pointing out how bad my art is. I've come across too many people like that.

Well it depends. I@m quite good at telling what's bad and what's not coming from me. What can be expected from me. I'm fully aware of my weaknesses and strength. When a criticism is uncalled for I can be quite angry. If it is a constructive criticism then I'm ok with it but deep down I'm disappointed in myself.

its depend on the person personality and experience. but i more consider in experience, the experience that he/she has when interacting with a lots people in many occasion will help to manage any critics that coming

I agree with you. I know myself well so I won't take baseless criticism. I try my best not to criticize but really detest those who talk abt things they don't know of. that's when I cant resist but point out.there are tons of them out here..whose only job is to point a finger!

I don't like to be criticed. The first thing that I thought is.... "Is that true that I'm wrong?" After that I will think again "What is positif and negative effect for critics that he gave for me." And then I decide "Should I accept it." BUt I always say thx for every one who critics me. It is because they love me so they critics me to be better^^

Critism. The word sends out chills in some people. It all depends on how a person reacts to it. I would advice that be strong when you are criticised. Dont show out that you are affected by it as it can be taken as a weakness and people and use it against you. But also when someone criticises you dont accept it, later on ponder on what the person had said, you know yourself better than anyone else. Try to see if there is any truth in it anf if there is work on it. But never be disheartened or hurt.

I would love to say that I do. I do take sometimes criticism to hard and makes me upset when I do. Instead of brushing it off sometimes I use the source as a tool to be upset. I hope in time I can change that and get over the negative and look for the positive in the criticism.

I think I handle it quite well. There are times I will take it into consideration and there are times where I just ignore it.

i think in most cases its not nessesary and if they pesist i upset them

in positive way.

I have always been a very sensitive person. I tend to take any kind of criticism to heart whether the person meant it to be constructive or not.

I'd like to let roll of my back what others, whose criticism I find unworthy, but, still, I get defensive and doubt myself.

Not well at all. I guess it depends who does it and how they tell you. If you are feeling bad about yourself and someone critize's you, that would make you feel even worse.

I'm very sensitive to criticism. It's bad because when I ask for it, I' naive and expect sugar coated answers. So when I run into an answer that isn't to my expectation, it hurts. I don't know how to fix it. I'll try to have your look on it, but it'll take some time for me to retrain myself.

i agree comletely, if it's constructive criticism then I'll listen but not neccessarily alter my way to do things. I don't really care what other people think of me, it's not worth the heartbreak.

Personnly i dont care if anyone criticize me, simply because you are entitled to your opinion. now if you are wrong about me than i'll let you know.

Not so good for me. I will cry first then ponder what he or she just said to me. Sometimes i felt they just dont know me but sometimes because they know me too well they end crticized me all the time.

Depends on who it is coming from and what the situation or behavior I'm being criticized on .

I accept construptive criticism
