How do you handle criticism?

I forget where I got the confidence to face criticism. Before, I am afraid to write, post statuses in English or comment in English. I am afraid what other people will tell me if I mistakenly type or say something wrong. I am afraid of lambasting from people who don't consider other's feelings. I just hate the ignominy people will throw at you. As if I committed the highest treason. I believe that every day is a learning process. And I learn to face criticism. It helps me overcome them by accepting the errors, accepting people's good and bad advices. I learn to face their words against my words. I learn to accept that there are no perfect people and I can make mistakes too and that I'm willing to accept whatever it is that will make me better, whether it is can hurt my feelings or put me into shame. As long as it is good for me. Photo grabbed from Google.com

Yes, everyday is a learning process. Even I learn each and every day. You shouldn't worry about what people say and keep doing you. :)

@JustBhem Those who criticize have nothing better. If it's to help you learn, that's fine. I'll accept mistakes but if it's to make fun of me, then no!

Ajah! Sometimes, the more they criticize us the more we are eager to learn on our own. And one day, we stand up proud.

We all make mistakes at time I think those that criticise usually have very low self esteem,so they try to make others feel bad to make themselves feel better. I am glad you have overcome your insecurities.

Yes, I did. Thanks for the maturity I gained. I agree with you. There are people will try to pull you down just to make themselves better or a lot better.

For me it depends on how it is said and who said or is saying the criticism.

I can accept criticism if it is said the right way, some people are rude and I cannot stand this.

All criticisms are not worthy to be taken seriously nor all appreciations. i recall Winston Churchill when he reportedly said :I always like to learn but I sometimes don’t like to be taught.

If it is constructive criticism, I will accept it. If not, I will not take it.

Yeah, I won't care about people who talking behind me. I always consider my family and friends words and not others. But most of the people don't consider the feelings others because of that some people who are sensitive are affected easily. This should be avoided.
