People have different attitude and habits to deal with criticism,whethwer constructive or deregatory.Every one has the experience of having faced criticism and remarks directed to hit his/her behaviour,relationship,habits and conditions.Positve criticism,unlike negative ones,is made mostly by our wellwishers with a helpful attitude,aiming to help correct one's behaviour and bad habits,if any.Do you accept and welcome constructive criticism?What are your view points?

I welcome constructive criticism as long as it's not humiliating and not targeting personally at someone or a particular group. Like for instance, I won't welcome racist remarks/criticisms because I believe each race has their own ups and downs. I hate those people that are just wanting to poke fun of others and using people's weaknesses to get back at them or attacking them so that the victims are helpless and find themselves demotivated to go on. You see these kinds of situations happening at work, in personal relationships and many more. This is my 2 cents' worth on this topic. Have a cheery, mylot day. Take care.

I am not going to say its easy, but I can accept it, though most times uncomfortably. After sometime, I settle down. Again it depends of how it is given.

Yes, I do accept and welcome constructive criticisms because I use them to improve myself. I always keep an open mind whenever people criticize me. I bear in mind that they are not doing that to spite me or because they're jealous of me but because they want me to change something in myself that is bad. If you're mature enough, you wont take constructive criticisms in a bad way.

A very important skill that will help you through all levels of life. Cultivating this habit is the mark of an emotionally mature person. The easy way to learn to take criticism in general is to acknowledge that we are not perfect. This is what my dad has taught me. The second is to consider what the other person has said. If you find you agree change, else leave it. Anyways constructive criticism helps us mould our selves and helps us to improve us in many ways if taken in a positive way. I always take constructive criticism in a positive way and try to improve myself.

I love constructive criticism when it comes to my writing and that's it. Constructive criticism, i feel, is a key point in becoming a better writer. Keeping an open mind and accepting the criticism is what helps you write better material and do so better grammatically.

you cannot please everyone and human nature does not remain same. mood change according totime and circumtances.every body is not liked by everyone.the question of criticsm arises after sometime the criticism is essencial part of nature because idea differ from prsonto personwhich gives birth to criticism.it cAN BE POSTIVE or negtive.positve criticism is always welcomed.those who believe in positive criticism are the good man but the deregatory criticism always creat hatred and rivary. constructive criticism is by true friendand wellwisher but to critice show the jealouswhich is not agood habbit. i always welcome the constructive criticism .i appericate my critics and considered them true friend and thankfull to them.

Generally I am OK with receiving constructive criticism I think. It does come down to who is giving it and how they give it as well though. I am far more comfortable taking it from someone I am close to and know well than from someone I don't. I do have to say thought that some people are far better at giving constructive criticism than others. Some people are really bad at it!

Many thanks for nicely responding and sharing your view points.I do agree with you. I believe,positive criticism if taken with a positive spirit and intention,can immensely benefit the targetted person.Should we not be thankful to somebody who intends to help us through his/her positive remark and comments? Have a nice day!!

If criticism is offered by someone I know well, or by someone I asked for criticism, and it is constructive, I welcome it and take it seriously. I often ask for constructive criticism of my writing, and while it is not always pleasant to hear, I do like it because it helps me become a better writer. On the other hand, if someone offers unsolicited criticism and is rude or condescending about it, I don't like that. It is rude, mean and unnecessary.

Constructive criticism is welcome. Unfortunately, many people think they are providing constructive criticism but they let their own emotions shine through. At that point it gets personal and it can come across a vicious. Although I manage to see the point they are making, they should not be surprised, if my reply might have a similar tone of voice and mannerism. Discussions can get heated, especially here.

Many thanks for nicely responding and sharing your thoughts.I do agree with you and understand your points. A positive criticism normally comes with a positive spirit of helping and benefitting the receiver.If a comment or remark is directed to hurt and affect someone who receives it,the whole purpose of the remark is defeated.I understand that it should be offered in a acceptable way. Have a nice day!!

Learning to accept criticism is part of personal development. We have all received criticisms (positive and negative), either from our teachers, colleagues or superiors. However, many people do not know how to criticise constructively - I find that very lacking among my school-teachers. They were terribly demotivating! Fortunately, I've had good managers and helpful colleagues who helped me recognise and appreciate constructive criticism (and critique). These helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses, so that I can develop myself as a person and a worker, in order to advance in my career.
