For me i do not mind people critizing me, criticism is a way to improve yourself,because sometimes we cannot observe own problems while other people do, so it is good to learn from people's criticism, and try to do your best in the areas which you do not do good enough.

It depends on the criticism. Some are constructive criticism and I welcome them and I would accept it. Atleast I will know some of my weaknesses and I will be able to change that weaknesses of mine. But if it is negative criticism and it is offending then I would of course get angry with that person. And I would talk with that person.

I can deal with constructive criticism. I do not like being attacked and there are a few on here that only know how to attack. I think that there is a nice way to put things and when you are in a public forum you should be adult and curteious to all. I have no problems saying thank you when someone nicely informs me I have miss spelled or miss quoted something. As a matter of fact I like it that way because I like to be correct in my speaking.

It is difficult to simply ignore it. We all want and need approval of everyone we know or meat. So if we are criticised we feel a temporary loss of esteem. I have been shy all my life. I hate criticism and do all I can to avoid it. And it seems to work because I am almost never criticised to my face. Problem is I have very few friends because I am not willing to risk it. I think the answer....even though I don't seem to be able to adopt it....is to put much less importance on what other people think. If we do that any criticism we recieve will come in the form of an opionion and that is all it is. But so very hard for some of us to adopt this.

I consider the source of criticism. If they aren't a person whom I respect, then I take their criticism very lightly. If I respect them, even if I don't like them, I'll take their words under serious consideration.

I do not give much weightage to the criticism. It is everybody's rite to criticise each others. Who can stop them. I too do and I am critised also. I pay attention on some criticism also if it worth value I try to rectify myself. Criticism is essential also for us. By this we come to know how wrong we are and we get opportunity to purify ourself. Critic gives us a chance to be perfect. Though it is painful sometime but also essential.
