I watched an episode of meet the humans with Michael mosley and most people respond positively to praise but some people succeed using others criticism. One woman in the episode was talking about how after her husband cheated on her she was able to change her mind set and was responding well to the criticism but she had not always been that way. I don't respond well to being put down
Only if the person is more experienced in what they are criticizing than I do.
For example, I wouldn’t consider anyone’s opinion on my engineering designs if they are non-engineers. In the same way, I wouldn’t bother listening to people who have never worked out giving ideas out about muscle building. I just ignore their opinions.
Also the intent matters. If they care about my personal development, I wouldn’t mind. If they are just being jackasses, they better do something worthwhile with their lives. It’s all about being constructive.
@Jeephikelove Yes, that's why people need to constantly brush up on their social skills and put the cell phones down...turn off the computers and verbally share more.🗣️
Grow a thick skin. I can take critcism about my writing, a little bit with my art but it is hard when someone criticise me as a person. For writing I would go on writing groups and ask the to critique my work also for art.
