How do you handle criticism?
Do you take it personally and get $^#@@ mad at person or yourself? Or
Find a way to improve yourself?
I have seen people taking criticism very differently even if they are wrong. I think it may have to do with personality of being a perfectionaist, but in most cases if you have patience, you are more likely to difuse the situation.
Re: Criticism
well i think it depends on who's critisising you and how theyre doing it. like sometimes my friends or family will say something and you can tell from the way theyre saying it,that they want to help you/or that its positive criticism in your favour.if thats the case i would listen to them and see what they have to say and whether to me what theyre saying makes sense.if i like it...then ill take it on board
sometimes peeople critisize you and its just jus for the sake of picking faults and annoying you and their intentions aren't good then i would jus do my best to ignore them.
normally i jus see if what i was doing was wrong or theyre advice seems to make sense to me and its jus a better way of doing things.
Re: Criticism
So, you like positive criticism?
Re: Criticism
Depends on who's doing it and again their personality...R they your good friends or not. The intentions r the first things I would consider...Do they want my good or not or merely feeding off of others flaws...and trying to act superior :)
Re: Criticism
critisism is easy...but being able to point out better solutions is harder!!
i hate simple criticism...but i love positive criticism, that is to say:pointing out nicely a flaw, and a way to correct or do better...but realistic!!!
Re: Criticism
i tend to get defensive...explaining why i say or do things in a certain way. However i do reflect upon it positively.....if i think the criticm has some merit...then i try to correct it.
Re: Criticism
Yes most of the times i do get offended and justify my self when people criticize me without and relevance, i mean why do you care the way i dress up or talk to my mother like she is my friend and my age? and when people judge me without even knowing the real me :S but i am always open to positive and helpful criticism. but there are also times when i dont think that the people are worth being told why i did something and whatever since corrupt minds can never change.
Re: Criticism
Definitely defensive or stay quiet...later on i will think abt it, and also consider the source..like others said, u can usually tell teh diff btwn someone who genuinely cares and someone whose just being an ass
Re: Criticism
well, i guess i do like positive criticism as long as its done the right way..it dont matter how good the advice is..if someone is being really nasty about it..i hardly wanna take it on.
Re: Criticism
If some criticize u in a degrading manner....then ofcourse everyone get furious....and defensive...its natural
but a constructive criticism always help.. no doubt
Re: Criticism
fcuk criticism..thats how i handle it
