How to ignore criticism?

Criticism or even people making up lies about you. It happened to me, it's like an art, we practice and years passes by and more and more I care less, can someone don't care about other people's opinion completely? If you can what's your secret? Of course I don't want only to receive, but give, I know my ways are not 100% accurate cause it's really rare but I find situations that I'm resentful for something I hear, most of the times I don't even let it bother me but little times it gets through and it does bother. One thing that I learned is that when someone is criticizing me either this person is jealous or is doing the same thing, so this person don't wanna show he/she does it so criticize other who does like it's a horrible thing, like saying "Look at her and I never do that!". I also found critics that actually did wanted to do something I was doing, for example there were these girls that met like 3 of my boyfriends, I break up had another, break and had another, I was really young and they were making up lies and making a little story bigger. My relationships were about phonecalls, holding hands and really, only that but they were talking around there was more. 6 months later one of these 3 girls didn't come home, got fired cause she wasn't even in this province, she went to another and were sleeping in this guy's house she met in the same day. Her parents were worried sick...She was doing exactly what she told I was, but I wasn't. I was so shocked, only 16 to learn that people actually say things they actually DO! The other one put a guy to live with her, also 6 months after talking about me, her parents afford for his life... She too, he didn't wanted to work...And he was younger! And she got pregnant of him, years later from another one and in the end she had 3 kids from different fathers and no one married her. One of my best friends said when he met her me and her are the same age but she looked like 36 when I was 26, he told how I was seeming younger than her. I didn't be happy but I saw God's justice at work right there! Really, I wasn't happy to see her screwed up, not that I was feeling sorry either. So many other situations like these happened that I know these 2 are the main causes for criticism and I mostly don't botter. When a new girl is criticizing me I just think that I didn't know she was jealous of me. Sometimes I know she does exactly what she keeps poiting in others. So this is my secret of how I make peace of mind to not bother. Now tell me yours! Cause sometimes it's hurtfull, depending on who it is. Now there are also good criticism but they don't even feel like that cause the person who is telling us love us, they come like "I just wanted to open your eyes for this you are doing, or that you are being like this" and it's fine, I listen and try to fix it if I want to. Those are friend's criticism.
