Criticism-How do you choose to handle it?

If it's constructive, I usually prod the person who criticized me. That's so there wouldn't be thoughts left for misinterpretation, preventing us from harboring resentment towards each other. If it's destructive though, I choose not to dwell on it. There's only 24 hours in a day to make yourself useful and live it, why waste a minute paying attention to the things people said that could bring you down?

1. We all feel bad when negative comments are made about us. 2. Some of us feel good for positive compliments while some of us feel nervous. 3. For me, definitely, I feel bad for my negative comments, and for the positive ones, I am in the category of nervousness. 4. Although I feel bad for the negative ones, what I have felt is that I get inspired from that, to overcome what the criticism said was a lack in me. 5. So, the best thing is to let the emotions flow naturally, do what you think is the best, do try to think too much but also don't try not to think at all. 6. Balance is the key.

I really don't like to be criticized..but then I am sure no one does. I can sometimes get upset and even mad. However...You have to take everything with a grain of salt..and just try to move on and do better in the future....

While it can really tick me off, I try to see from their point of view, realize we all think differently and respect their opinion. And always try to learn from the criticism at hand.

for me criticism is like any other feelin as i handle any feelin of mine i also handle criticism in the same way i dont use any saperate or extra effort to handle this feelin i just keep it goin the world criticises you try to face it life is all about facin and soo dont escape.

Honesty when someone look at me in a way other then how I really am, it hurts. I really dislike judgemental people. Its hard for me to understand why people tend to criticize and judge people by a flaw or a mishap that a person might have went through. Instead of criticizing I think people should show more empathy and try to relate to other peoples problems. People tend to forget that they might have went through the same thing another person is NOW going through. I know I am young and many young people make mistakes and bad choices. But instead of hearing the "I told you so's" or "You should have known", a little advice and "you know I was just like this" or "I know how you feel, I went through the same thing" response is always better

When someone makes a statement about me, good or bad, I ask myself "is it true?". If it is true,(and sometimes that is hard to face up to)I try to "own up" to the accusation and plan how to correct the situation. If you look at criticism as an opportunity it can really change your life. Think about this-large companies hire people to come in and tell them what is wrong with the way they are doing business. You are getting the same service for free! On the other hand, if the statement is not true I simply don't worry about it. Sometimes it is just a matter of people having a difference of opinion. How you deal with criticism is really a matter of having the right attitude.

Depends on who is the critic. If he means something to me, I do take heed of what they say; or else i take it with a punch of salt.

I don't like it at first but I get use to it and it helps me later on the down the line. My friends will tell me certain things and I might not like what they said at first but later on I realize that they were right. We are gonna all at the same allot of times it is just if you can over come it and say ok maybe there right. Some people do it just to be bossy and and mean so I don't listen to them.

everything has a limit.. in da same way i beleive even critisim has it's limit.. if it crosses then it will result in bad..

i just take it as it comes

EAR IN THIS EAR LEAVE IT THROUGH NEXT THATS COOL MAN

Some criticisms are constructive while others are destructive. Of course I have received lots of criticism. My first reaction is feeling embarrassed. Sometimes, I can laugh it off if I agree with the comment and will try hard to change it. Some may hurt my ego and I may counter react or debate with the person until I get a satisfactory reply.

Things to keep in ming, regarding criticism: 1. You can listen to everyone's opinion, but you don't have to accept or agree with what they say. 2. You should discard destructive criticism. 3. Don't obsess with what other people have said, because: people are frequently wrong, people change their opinions often and people may actually be saying things just to upset you. 4. Believe in yourself and in what you're doing it, but don't let that blind you. 5. Take the discussion or problem to someone else, get different perspectives. 6. Be critical. The best kind of judgement starts with you. 7. Be careful about friendly comments which might be nice, but don't help you at all. Lack of criticism is just as bad as destructive criticism. 8. Above all, don't let criticism affect you in a negative manner, but give it some thought to see if there's any truth to it.

I try to take on board any criticism directed at me. I feel that there must be some issue for someone to criticise me and I try to address it internally. I think that people who can't take it, shouldnt dish it out. How about yourself?

If I know the criticisms are really for my own good, I would remember them well & seek to change for the better. However, if they are just some malicious words meant to hurt me, then I'd choose to ignore them. Life is short, we'd be a lot happier if we learn to live without taking things too hard. :)

critism makes a person better. if u pay head to it it is for your betterment but if it is becoming an obstacle then better become deaf ears!!

Criticism is part of every people lives. Be realistic, you can't please people. What is right for you maybe wrong with them and vise versa. Take criticisms constructively. It is for your own good. You can't see yourself, but other people is your mirror that will tell you what they see. It is up to you whether to take it or not.

HMM.. i think everyone IS a CRITIC.. not a single person does not like to be criticize... it's just human nature.. and i think the only way around it.. is u BANG them back real hard.. human are critics.. they argue without using their brains cuz most of the time they just want to win the argument and feeling satisfied when people agree with what they said.. we see alot of this in our TVs, our government.. etc.. all arguing without any base.. that's where we see the worst out of our kind - the CRITICS..

criticism is i think is normal already to our everyday life..its on how we react on this that matters...you cant be criticize if havent done wrong or offensive to them..or vice versa..there are 2 kinds of criticism ,,constructive and destructive..constructive is good coz it will make reform or appreciate it..destructive is the reverse..
