Criticism can be of three kinds: 1.That which is justified and fair; 2.That which may be justified but is delivered in a hostile manner; 3.The unjustified or brutal put-down. Most people react badly to all three type of criticism.We tended to take critical remarks as a direct attack on our total worth.Maybe someone can use construcyive criticism to our advantage.However,in fact,most of us go to great lengths to avoid getting criticized.So.how to handle these criticisms?

Hi Imizzy, I welcome criticism as long as it is constructive. Normally, I receive criticism from friends and that's fine. Recently, I receive a constructive criticism from my on line earnings on making reviews. I was very appreciative towards that person because of his honesty. And he said it in a nice way, it sounded as if my review is good but I can do better. A few days ago my heart was broken by a certain thechocolatelady username in ciao as she criticize me by rating my review as "not helpful" and left a comment that I have a bad grammar. I was devastated and wanted to tell her don't bother reading my reviews but I'm not allowed to do that. Then, I joined dooyoo and guess what, she rated my first ever review as "somewhat helpful". She always gives me the lowest rate and seem to be following me. I saw her picture on her profile such an ugly, unhappy B**CH. I'm sorry for venting this out but I do believe that constructive criticism is the only way to reach out to other people if you have to criticize.

Hi,sheenarobins, I am so glad that you responded my discussions.I think that is very well what you said that the way to handle the criticisms.If s criticism is justified,see it in its proper perspective.If not,pactice control,just stay cool.It is always a good idea to consider the source.Receiving a constrictive criticism is really good to us.
