My reaction is negative comments should be taken with context. I ask myself
'is that person saying this to try and push my buttons?'
'is that person projecting their own insecurity onto me?'
'is this negative comment warranted?'
'is this helpful to the conversation?'
Any of these questions can help put the comment in perspective.
