are you get angry when someone points out your shortcomings?

no. if that is the truth, i will accept that of course. i hope that when my shortcoming is pointed out, that would be done in private and not in front of all other people. i can take criticisms, i use them to build my confidence more and to work harder... but i guess if a friend tells me about my mistakes with the intention of letting me down and not to help me, that would make me really sad and will be really hurt cause i would never do something like that to a friend...

It depends on the manner of saying it. I don't actually gets angry. But I get hurt. Especially if it is told in a very annoying manner. But I accept it and always trying my best to change.

I was getting little annoyed at time, before years when some one pointed out my shortcomings! Now it is ok to me because I learned that these are the things one has to learn to deal and remove for ever!

I can easily take criticisms when it comes from my family and friends but I am not good in handling those that are from people that doesn't know me at all. About pointing out my shortcomings, I may accept it if I really caused inconvenience to lots of people or have hurt their feelings badly. But if I am aware of it and gave my sincere apology, then I will feel bad if someone will keep on pointing out my shortcomings.

i felt bad all the time when my husband complained, criticised or pointed out my shortcomings. it seems to me that he always looked for some mistakes that i made. its not my nature to criticise people because i'm telling myself that nobodys perfect, we all make mistakes.

it really pissed me off... most especially when someone im not closed to would tell what my shortcommings are! he/she doesnt know me at all.. nobody perfect ayt!

There's a diference between constructive and destructive critisicm. Both people should know the difference and use the better of the two. Constructive critisicm should be taken politely as a reminder of where you need to improve.
