Resolving this kind of attitude is only how to leave it..Leave that such destroyable character that can damage your life and also to others.. Leave it,repent....if not leave it,that will worse and worse..And also avoid people that have that kind of attitude..

OK - it is all a play of words which makes one to feel bad or good and also works on how do we finally receive the message..any how every one is selfish and egoistic in their own world - who are not worried about others,hence they express what ever thoughts flow in their mind.....and are least bothered weather we have hurt him or not...

Yes avoiding such attitude is a good way because ,you are keep your self to be like them, or adopt such attitude.. Critism is not a good habit ,but a bad.It affects any one.sometimes it takes time to change but should know what is right..

There are two types of criticism actually. One is meant to demean or belittle you and one is of constructive type - meant to correct a seemingly wrong way. As to demeaning criticism, i would really return the insult. But with a constructive criticism, i would welcome it. It serves as my motivation to make better of what i am or what i do or say.

[b]You are totally right and I support your encouraging words... Very very few friends are of such nature and it is negligible in my case. Normally I am a self motivated person and stand on my own thoughts - and this gives me a self support...[/b]

Usually constructive criticism comes from true friends. They are honest about it, because they want you to know t and decide whether to change for the better or not. They don't impose it but let you decide on it.

Hi busybee I always take criticism in a positive way, only then we can grow That's my policy, we must not take it in an offensive way and curse the person who has critisised us instead if we listen to what he/she has to say in a manner which will be beneficial for us then it would be more productive. If we dont make mistakes we will never learn if people dont criticise us we will never know what we did wrong, So I think criticism either good or bad is essential for everyone's growth

I once had a problem with criticism, then I had to hear it for several years 24/7. The criticism became overbearing and I had several breaks and it became easier. I still have a little problem with social situations, but I try to visualize the situation before I get there. It's more difficult when you don't know what to expect. If you don't know what's expected of you and the fact that you should expect something different from then is how difficult to handle than walking in on a paintgun festival.

OK i could understand that and also realize how painful is it to be encircled with [b]such a negative atmosphere. Yes there are certain confusing situations where in we cannot expect what we need but our thoughts run away in a different directions.. Any how to handle such situations require lot of skill....[/b]

Sometimes it requires thoughts outside of the box and atmosphere. One must realize there are people everywhere that are pretty pushy and difficult, but there are also individuals that are like you and think as you do outside of the box. Skill is built from loved ones, books and associating with another person or group that doesn't push so hard but teach without total criticism..

[b]You are right...it all depends upon the individuals atmosphere of movements and his own capacity of taking the inputs and delivering the outputs. Any how, life is something wonderful with many of the people around us...Sometimes I get vexed because many are negative and do not think in a positive - and when I come across a positive person I feel so happy and extend all my love towards them.....[/b]

getting criticism is not much of an issue to me, especially if i was to get it from a person i know is no better than me. i would just shrug it off and not mind that person. i would/might just laugh it off either and even prove to that person (in his/her face) that they are wrong. sometimes they are just insecure and found criticism as an approach to pull us down.. but hey no... not me; i won't be bothered than much by this. no freaking way.

busybee: yes. accepting criticisms is an art. some people do not mind being told negatively about their performance. I get angry when I am given a negative remark over a work I feel I have done well. In respect of works where I have not taken pains, I do not mind accepting negative criticism. It also depends on the person giving the feed back.

[b]Yes ravisivan, I do agree with you. But life has become so complicated and confusing.The work atmosphere is totally a dominating one of the middle management who talk so rude and filled with egoism-not only that they even make a mockery type discussions which hurt others.And even then they are not bothered...as to what others think. Bearing criticism really needs skill to handle...!!![/b]

Criticsm...gossip...makes the world go round so just mind your own business and go on with your life. Don't allow one person to tear you down, do not allow one to ruin your day, do not allow one person to hurt you, only allow the one person to make you more stronger. Have a pleasant day!

Very nicely commented - and really going that way makes us to lead a peaceful life.And such boldness comes only when we become strong to face such adverse situations in life...as every one here have become selfish and to gain their own benefits they do all such negative approaches...

Most of the time, criticism just has to be ignored, unless it is from someone who is qualified to criticize. Most of the time, people criticize for the wrong reasons. Even if someone means well and wants to help, they can be in the wrong place to say something. However, it is important to know the difference.

Great discussion, busybee! There's a lot to consider here, both in the giver and receiver. First, let's take the giver of the criticism. Some people can dish out great constructive criticism without having that "sting" accompanied to it, while other people are definitely throwing criticism with a hearty punch! Therefore, how one responds to the criticism will certainly depend on how the criticism is delivered. Let's take the young lady I was visiting with last Friday. Recently she has started her own business of making custom greeting cards, wedding invitations, thank you cards, etc. All of which are fantastically beautiful, while each design is unique to the person purchasing the card. I was frankly stunned by her creativity and talent. She was telling me about some of her marketing efforts in launching her business, one of which was attending a Chamber of Commerce leads group. When she took her turn to give her "30 second commercial", one of the other attendees in the room piped up saying, "Well, I don't see how you're ever going to make it as a personal handwritten message always has the most impact." I could tell that the young girl was really hurt by this comment in front of so many business people. I indicated to her that she should just let it roll off - frankly, I see on her cards where there is ample room for handwritten notes if the sender felt it necessary. I further told her that I was aware of the woman of which she spoke and to frankly consider the source and forget it. That type of criticism is absolutely unnecessary and needs to be totally ignored. Then, of course, there's constructive criticism which if handed out in a caring and gentle manner feels to the recipient more like help than criticism, and should be taken seriously and very possibly acted upon. Should that person passing out the constructive criticism be around, the recipient should seek the person out in the future to assist with making the corrections suggested. Long and short, the way to manage the criticism would certainly depend on the type of criticism delivered.

Kizzy: welcome to mylot. It is right. The criticism has to be handled depending on the way it is given -- if it is constructive then we can put it to use. It should be objective and not subjective.

I try to ignore it. It doesn't matter what some people tell about you. If they criticize me for my own good, I accept and try to fix it but if they are judging me for something that can make me sad or feel bad about myself I try to ignore and move on. Like I say: "Look at yourself before criticize others". :)

i accept criticisms if it could help me improve myself but if it could destroy me, it would be another story..i would just ignore it if it isn't helpful..i don't care what other people say especially if they're just trying to destroy my life.

Good and sporty message.... yes, that is acceptable if it is for our improvement....I like you bold nature,yes one should surely get accustomed to such atmosphere which can be only gained on a large experiences... One should undergo some of the negative experiences which really makes us strong on our movements...
