Sometimes criticism can be a good thing, it can make you improve on certain things, and make you a better person. But sometimes it can be a bad thing, something that you could rebel against perhaps. Depending on the criticism that I am receiving I would say that I can let it go over my head so to speak.

Hi rosie: I agree with you. Criticism can help people to work and being better persons so when someone critizes you this means sometimes that he/ she wants that you make things better which is ok and very positive for all of us. So I think it's in our criteria to decide if we take it or not these comments. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

Hi lesfery: I think I usually received criticism in a bad way, I mean, when someone criticize the things I do or something in my life this could ruined my life or makes me feel depressed. Now I think I can handle this situation. In general I think on the subject as an academic problem: if I think that people are critizing me for a good reason then I will promise myself to change so I won't make the same mistake over and over again but if I think there's nothing wrong on me I don't care. People tend to judge the others and I think you can't change that but at least you don't have to feel bad for these things. You can control these situations. Thanks for asking us this question. Have a nice day.

You got to be very careful with how you handle criticism. There are different types and you should think about everything carefully. I know personally that there is criticism that is extremely helpful to enriching my life. Then there is the type of criticism that people just give for the sake of criticism. There are many people who just tear each others down. I think in some twisted way it amuses them. I do not really know how, but it is just one of those things that gives some people sick joy.
I take criticism and think about if I can really apply it or not. If its the right kind, it might be valuable. Especially if it is from a person whose opinions that I greatly respect. However, if it is from a person that I barely know, than I might be less likely to hear them out. I mean, a person that I barely know, they really are not someone who would be a valuable source, as I do not know what type of person.
Therefore, their criticism, whether it be good or bad, tends to go by the wayside. Still, if it is logical and gets me thinking, I might take it well. If it sounds like just criticism for the sake of criticism, then it will get thrown out. However, I do admit that its very hard to separate the two a lot of the time. One can most certainly sound like the other.

Indeed! 2 much criticism by so many people! Browse don't worry about them. Surely the creator f the heavens & worlds encourages us not 2 judge anyone so one who listens will know that the judgements of others doesn't matter either. I m sure & confident in myself. I may make mistakes but I strive 2 correct my errors. F the creator has patience with me & accepts my faults I can accept the faults of other even S his percent example shows
