Sometimes I thought that I'm strong enough to handle criticism but I was wrong. Even if what they say is not true still it hurts and it bothered me most of the times. Either constructive or destructive criticism still affects me but to different level of intensity. That's why as much as possible I don't criticize people. It is only when it's needed for the person.
Do you like to be criticized? or you're the one who likes to criticize?

well, if on a point i am wrong about something then if people criticize me then i can take it, but if i know i am rite an then i am criticized then i don't like it and i start asking myself that what did i say wrong and what did i do wrong. i don't criticize others and i don't like to be criticized as well.

Yeah, I agree with you, If I'm wrong then it's okay I can accept criticism. But there are so many people who criticized because they're insecure,felt threaten of your presence, especially on work, it's inevitable. But you know as much as possible I only criticized a person when it's really needed, for improvement and betterment of his/her performance.

i think that maybe im kinda sensitive.even if its constructive criticism, or any type of criticism, i still get hurt. especially i grew up being given criticism but i later realized that i shouldnt be listening to them. like you, im also bothered by it

Yeah, for me parents should be very careful on giving criticism to their children. Because it would greatly affect the level of confidence of their children when they grown up. Like my friend she's very intelligent and when she was a kid her mom often told her that she's dumb and can't even read as good as her older brother. Believe me, even if its totally obvious she's brightest in the class she still doesn't believe on her self. And so then I realized how important to cautious on giving criticism.
Yeah your right, we shouldn't listen to those kind of criticism that we know isn't true.

at first time u should know that criticism does not mean to criticise in front of that person. it will definatly hurt someone. usually criticism makes a person perfact and teaches how to recover the mistakes. so i need to be criticise bcoz i know i have some demerits which i am not concerned about. i need someones help to focus them so that i can refine myself.

Criticizing on the right situation and reason can be of great helped. As you said it makes us aware of our faults and defects and so helped to improved our self. But sad to say that they're so many people who don't know how to criticized in a proper way. A good criticized is an art. You need to be sensitive enough to put words into its proper place and to come up with a good idea on how to shaped the person the way it should be.
In either way criticize still hurts and would greatly affect the person's attitude towards life.

I don't like to be criticized, but can handle constructive criticize if intended to be such. It all depends on how it's being said and who's saying it about what. I'm not very critical. When I do criticize, it's intended to be constructive criticism and I hope it's taken in that manner.
