criticism is also part of our life there are times when someone criticise us. others affected while others are not. its up to us on how we handle it. Handling this matter is important because it can affect our behavior especially when we are not mature enough to handle this. we must know how to deal with it. when i encounter this situation i would rather not to think of it as nothing to worry about. how about you how would you handle it?

Think why this criticism is thrown to you. They might have a good point. Then try to improve. Don't ignore all criticisms! Then laugh a lot when these criticisms are just aimed at destroying your reputation!

I don't handle criticism well - I take it very personal and feel like a total failure. I would rather point out my errors myself before someone else does and often do that.

I handle it very well, because I look at criticism as a way to improve myself, if the root of the problem is founded. Some people don't know any other way to tell someone about a problem except to criticise, so I take that into account when I encounter criticism. But if its a complaint that is unfounded, I just ignore it. Why give it more power and fuel than it deserves?
