I think my biggest flaw is my inability to accept criticism. I never take it well I always get defensive and angry.

I have never been able to accept criticism. I automatically think that whoever is giving it out towards me believes I suck and I take it personally. I can think of an example recently at work where this had happened. Someone was giving me feedback about how I overproduce too much product and it's been going to waste. I get mad and defensive launching into a litany of well you just don't like me and never do my job so you don't know what is needed back here blah blah blah. Hell in review that was one thing mentioned in terms of room for improvement.

As a child I was the same way I took it very personally. If someone nitpicked the way I did something I got defensive and started on the attack. Oh you think I suck? Well you do too and here's why I do it this way blah blah blah.

Eventually after I calm down and stop going on the war path I actually sit and think about it and realise yeah maybe they were right let me make that adjustment and see how it goes.

I don't know why I'm like this honestly. Maybe I have a personality defect?
