How do you take it in life? Are you alright if someone points out the way you walk, your dressing sense, and whether you chose to live in one particular place or not. I do not mean the common things here prone to attack like bad manners, uncleanliness, loose talk etc. Obviously everyone would disapprove that. But someone’s personal choice or habits. Is it alright to be so fikarmand and bothering about how that couple was walking/ talking/ how they live and such personal things. If someone does that to you, how would you feel, plus, if not to you, but someone else, or even if you do that, just in a manner of stating your opinion, how would you justify that.
Re: Criticism
I'm a "live and let live" type of person.
Re: Criticism
^ exactly this is what everyone would say/ feel/ believe on here 
Re: Criticism
It would bother me no doubt, I would ponder over the given criticism, I would try change myself for the 'better'..................and in a days time I would go back to the old me
Re: Criticism
well meaning criticism is always welcome, for me it helps me improve my flaws and hopefully that criticism would come with helpful hints on how i could better myself.
but i know somebody that puts others down just so he can feel better about himself, that's not well meaning criticism, it's just bitterness, it's the most negative energy to be around, i love my work but backbiters like that are such a downer, i'm always trying to think of ways to stay away from him and try to be around coworkers that are balanced and nice to be around.
Re: Criticism
i'll listen...FOLLOW the advice if i'm at fault, IGNORE is if i'm right...isn't that so simple :)

I don't take kindly to unsolicited criticism or "advice" about my personal habits.
Re: Criticism
What doesn't personally affect me usually doesn't really bother me and I tend to keep my opinion to myself which is why I'd probably not take criticism well either especially from people who shouldn't be concerned about my personal choices anyway.
Re: Criticism
I can take the criticism only from selected persons like my mom, siblings and some very very close friends as I have that relationships with them and we are ok in exchanging our criticisms because we know we always wish and want the best for each other. Other than that, I don't like people criticising and commenting on personal issues and decisions.
Re: Criticism
I am very cool in taking criticism. I just ignore it if i don't like it and in reaction i just smile to the person who is criticizing me if i don't know him/her very well, same with the friends or family. If they criticize and i don't agree with them i just smile and ignore the criticism.
I don't criticize people who are not closed to me. To my friends and family i criticize them in a manner that they don't feel offended.
