How do you react to criticism?

When I get criticised I try to sit back and look at whether it is a justified criticism or not. Sometimes people are just having a bad day or someone has upset them and they're looking to pass it on. Sometimes it is worth looking hard at what they've said and seeing if you might need to change something - in that what criticism can be really valuable cos it makes you aware that maybe you could do things differently or better. I don't think anyone enjoys criticism and i try to put a positive spin on it and try and see it from the other persons point of view as well.

Well most of the time i get a bit angry! but i think people have to get use to it which is very hard cause one of the hardest things to do is listen to someone criticizing you and accepting it and then in the future even trying to improve yourself!

Perhaps sometimes I am a very proud person, so I may not listen to all the criticism. But if when I am alone and calm down, I will think about it. If it is reasonable, then I will correct it. I seldom say I am wrong when somebody criticizes me.

Maybe,I am a girl that has little angry cells in my body. when I was criticized by someone esp. by some unfamiliar people,and in some degree I actually did something inappropriate,I would not say a word. But if my parents criticize me,I will say everything that can show I am right in some way. However,I believe I am still a filial daughter.

Negative criticism is easier for me to handle; I take what I feel I can use and disregard the rest. I try to stay focused on the fact that this is someone else's perspective of me. Positive criticism is harder for me to handle because it is so rarely received. I have a tendacy to become embarrassed. All-in-all I try to take it all with a gain of salt, hurt feelings or not--they too will pass. I try to make whatever positive changes I can and let God do the rest.

Although they say that criticisms are mainly constructive rather than destructive, I still make it a point that for every criticism they tell or say they must have a basis. You see, when people know that I don't take criticisms so seriously and I look at it rather lightly they now start doing it on a regular basis and they are starting to put all the blames on the that causes a lot of people criticizing my work and me. Now, when the criticism seems ok, I usually listen to it so I will be able to change and prevent tings from happening again. But when it's all too good to be true criticism I fight for it and ask them their basis for telling me that. I am fortunate enough to be seen as a leader so I also give criticism. I think I have been always sensitive to the feelings of others and I always consider every aspect before I even speak. They usually react in a positive way since I do not shout at them or even have a tone of reprimand. In that way I can drive them the idea that I accept criticism but I can also give criticisms.

Best way to react to it is by realizing how to adapt to make yourself better. In most cases though the person doing the criticising doesn't mean to hurt your feelings but really is trying to help you get better. Negative criticism can be quite painful if looked at from the point of view that your not good enough. If you simply try to envision how you could change into something better than it will be much easier to handle and can be quite beneficial.
