How do you deal with criticism?

Question

How do you deal with criticism?

Answer 1

By listening to it, and keeping an open mind, and never being afraid to change or admit you are wrong if you are. I know some people find it hard to admit to others that they are right. But at least admit the wrong to yourself, that is sufficient.

Answer 2

Oo not well! I'm really critical of myself anyway so if someone is critical of me then it really hits home!! I know that sounds childish. Lol.

Also i think it depends on the way someone criticises you.

If they do it in a 'nice' constructive way, wanting the best for you and not wanting to hurt your feelings, then its actually very beneficial.

If they are very brash with there criticism then its almost like it dents you (ie me).

Answer 3

We have to deal with criticism with lot of patience and we to accept it with lot of grace. If we are criticized we have to first understand that we have to always learn from criticism. And by showing our annoyance we actually accept that yes we have these faults in us. So always accept your faults with grace. Thats how i am trying to accept criticism.

Answer 4

Answer 5

it hits in the heart at first .....but later i sit back and judge if the criticism was out of hate or was it for my betterment.....i wouldn't pay attention to it if it came out of hate or jealousy.....but if its for my betterment or came from a family member or a good friend of mine, i would surely take it in to consideration

Answer 6

If it's constructive criticism and is beneficial to me, then i take it quite well, and i actually appreciate it ---- after all there are none of us perfect ----

However if it is destructive criticism, as a means of trying to belittle or lower self esteem/confidence ----- i evaluate and then i ignore ----

Answer 7

it depends on the way ppl criticize me..

if i thought it's just to annoy me , i look at them with that look on my face and just don't replay..

but if i know that this person really cares about me and tries to make me better , so i listen to him very carefully and try to discuss the matter with him , and if he convinced me , i do what i should do..

always ove & peace..

Answer 8

I try my level best to be open minded when it comes to criticisms..Whatever maybe their intention,good bad ,jealousy or happiness,there will be some thing that wil make us better..

At times,i get angry and sad..and i may react.But for sure i'll think about it..

Answer 9

Heba - that answer was like it came from my mouth!

I just sit and seethe for a bit if the critisizm is from say, my dad. (Me and my dad don't get on) He doesn't exactly critisize in a good way.

Any from my teachers - I'd be slightly angry - slightly, but I'd understand anyway.

The rule with me and critisizm is, be nice, and I'll take it and think it over. Be horrible (like dad, teachers) and I'm not gonna be happy

Answer 10

Sometimes I laugh.

Sometimes I heed it lest I fall short.

Answer 11

This is how i deal with it mostly~~

i take it in,

get it into a messy rut(keep thinking about the criticism),

then let it all out(by crying alone),

believe it or not, after that, i usually felt better :)
