Handling Criticsm ...How You Do it?

No one likes being criticized no matter if it`s right or wrong. I don`t like it either, many times i won`t say a word but i don`t like it.The worst part is when you know the other one is right but your ego will stop you for telling him that he is right.:D

You will have to treat every criticism as an advice. But firstly you must recognize which is the criticism and which are things that are just there to insult. Once you recognize it is legitimate criticism, you must learn from what the criticism is. People will always have opinion on everything one does. That is something you cannot prevent or deny. If you want to improve you must accept criticism and recognize what it is pointing out so that you can in the future prevent that same mistake. I have received many feedback's in my life , notice what I did their, I identify all criticisms as feedback's so that I can learn from it. But as I understood the feedback's, whether it is negative or positive I improved. This is why companies always ask people for opinions, they expect to be judges negatively, so that in the future they can prevent their mistakes. Cheers!

For me, it depends on how the criticism is delivered. If it is rude, like someone just going on the attack, then I back off from it, but if the criticism is delivered nicely and it's worthwhile criticism rather than somebody just being negative for the sake of it, then I appreciate it.

How I take criticism is really all down to the presentation of how the criticism is being offered. There are just many times where I think that I am being criticized but they are doing it in such a way where it's not constructive and just really tearing me down. They aren't explaining all that much either. There are just unhelpful. A good critic summarizes their points rather easily. I think that each single piece of criticism is worth of consideration when one thinks about it. However, just because someone says it, does necessarily mean that it is true. There are just many people who give out criticism for the sake of doing so, no matter how well explained it might be. So yeah I consider but there is a chance that it might not be true.

I just listen. And smile oli think it is best that way

Well, when I receive criticism, I try my best to use it to my advantage to better myself. I'm not necessarily declaring I have a low self esteem, but I let negative and positive criticism construct my character and personality. I don't really like to receive criticism, but since I'm not perfect and I live in a non-perfect world, I've learned to accept it and adapt it for the betterment of my being! I really suggest it. Instead of becoming angry or mad at your peers for revealing their opinions of you, just accept them and make them become your positives!

I must deep inside I don't handle criticsm very well because I am a very shy person and I guess I don't have much confidence in my-self, and as well I guess I am rather sensitive so when it hurts I keep it bottled up inside and that is not good..

the truth will always hurt. we are criticized because at times we are not even aware of our shortcomings, and it is painful to hear them, especially when we believe we are doing almost as perfectly, as good, as better. so how do i handle it? depends actually in the mood i am in. but most of the time, i ponder on how i do things and how i am with other people.

I try my best to keep an open mind with criticism. if it is something to strive for, i take it in hand and try to make a better moment for it. If it is just something said in bitterness, i try to put it out of my mind and move on with what is important to me and my life.

For me it depends on who its comming from. Constructive criticism is always good it makes you better. But if someone is doing it just to bring you down and has no advice to help you improve that is new to you then you must flee from the situation for your reputations sake. Also it depends if someone criticizes in public or just between you and them.

I can take criticism when it is constructive and meant to help me... but I don't appreciate being criticized just for the pure heck of it. I don't like 'know it all' people messing in my life telling me I am doing this or that wrong. It really gets on my last nerve. I've gotten where I just don't say anything back.. I just consider the source and ignore it.

When I chose the theme of Evolve-Forever for my blog, I visualized a framework for evolution of humans through constant & continuous improvement throughout life that consisted of seven basic elements. The first of them dealt with this issue. I paraphrased it thus: Be open and subject yourself to criticism from near & dear ones; look for & accept these even if they are not favorably disposed to you. I went on to post an article titled Banish the Ego Barrier based on this approach. I believe that those who create a shell around themselves [mentally] and resist any constructive criticism stand very little chance of attaining any improvements in their life. They may gloat over the fact that they have kept all critics at bay but it is only detrimental to their interests. I believe being open to criticism with a conviction that it does immense good to us if we objectively analyze & pick up what good comes out of it.

It depends on what kind of criticism it is. If it is constructive and positive, then it is great as we can evaluate ourselves and learn from it. If it is destructive and would just bring ourselves down, depressed and sad, then we can again evaluate ourselves if it is somewhat true. In the long run, we know ourselves better than them, but we always have to take into account the judgment of others and be open to what they have to say, because in this way, we learn more of our singularity. Happy mylotting!

Some people do it because they just love to criticize everything and everyone. If that is the case I usually decide to ignore it. If it is someone whose opinion counts for me or if it's positive critics, then I admit if they are right and I try to learn from it. I don't like to be criticized, though I criticize myself a lot. But I agree, it helps to know ourselves better.
