Do you have somebody in your life who is critical of everything you do?

I rarely get criticized, but when I do, look out!

I don't really have anyone in my life that does that anymore. It used to be my sister! But she hasn't lived nearby in years.

Yes I do-my husband's aunt. I handle criticism okay if it's done in a loving manner. It depends who says it and how they say it. Aunt Mary is just rude, hateful and mean so I don't handle it well from her at all.

Yes, I have somebody who is critical of everything I do and she is my own Mother.

I don't handle it well either. I hope you can get it sorted okay.

I handle criticism by giving counter criticism to the person who said it.

More than criticism it is indifference that I cannot tolerate. No one is bothered about what goes on in anyone's life could be quite suffocating.

I think that one-on-one private criticism I can tolerate, but I work with a couple of people who like to publicly criticize me, and it drives me crazy!! I try to turn a deaf ear to them but every once in a while I'll speak up, and its never ends well for them when I do that.

I don't handle criticism well, but I have learned to ignore most of it. I've developed filters that let me listen for anything in the criticism I might find helpful, while dumping the rest into my "hater's gonna hate" file. My wife has been instrumental in this. She's been over trained in the corporate world to always look for a better way or a different solution, even when what is already in place works just fine. Unfortunately, she cannot turn this off when she comes home. I used to take it to heart when she was always "offering alternatives" as she calls it to everything I suggested. Now, if it's about something I really don't care much about one way or the other, I just give in and do it her way, which usually winds up not being the better way after all. If it is something I do care much about, I tell her we're going to do it my way, period, and it usually turns out for the best.

I avoid them a lot.

I don't handle it well either, but am lucky to get little of it. I can be quite critical at times and have to be aware of it. The thing that you can depend on is that the criticism will continue and maybe even intensify. I wish you well with handling that.

Not anymore. And frankly, I didn't handle it well. But that person is no longer in my life. I got defensive at first, but then I ignored it, driving the other person crazy.

My older sister is like that her whole life. She absolutely drives me insane. We are both almost in our 60's I should be used to her by now.

with absolute silence ...most of the time. people who know me are aware my silence isn't a good thing.

I'm the critical one I think. I just get annoyed easily, and don't find it easy to keep my feelings to myself. They tend to get worse if I bottle them, so I have to say something.

It all depends. If I am tired too tired I am more likely to fly off the handle otherwise I take it alright but I don´t take it too good all the time. If the person is nag nag well that gets me going if they get me seeing red like this afternoon well for about ten minutes. Now I am okay. I can understand how you feel though. No one is perfect but I know a few that believe they are.

I ignore it or I say something they're not 'perfect' at and hush them up. I hope everything okay

Well, I don't do criticism ever. And I don't believe there is such a thing as "constructive criticism". I think that's just a guise for someone to have a go.. example as below: If someone says "I think you're YZX and you really should be/do XYZ".. I just kinda tell them where they can stick their thoughts. Because, I can say exactly the same about them. Now, if someone says "I realize you're trying to solve X problem, how about you try Y approach, it might work?" This type of helpful suggestion is way more constructive, and I can listen to it all day. At the end of the day, if the person's feedback/criticism/suggestion is not conducive to me solving an actual issue, then what good is it? And like some of us say "well, if you ain't part of a solution, then you're part of the problem!" huhu! All in all, is something that's coming out of a person's mouth going to help you right now, or later on? if not, ignore it, and move on..

I don't like being criticised. I will avoid being criticised. If I do something wrong, I will make sure to have it fixed.

Facing always criticism makes me annoyed. I tell people the another way of criticizing me. I always tell them first we see good and then tell people what are the points for improvement.
