Honestly, How Do You Think You Handle Criticism???

As long as it's productive, I think I handle it pretty well. When I get called a moron or, even worse, a forking moron, I usually just laugh. I don't mind it if someone points out that I am in the wrong. It happens.

Honestly - - I am really, really bad at it.

Usually pretty well, however if they catch me off guard, sometimes I get mad, but then I analyze what they said to see if they are possibly right.

What, me get criticized? When I'm clearly perfect? Seriously, though, I think I take criticism fairly well, if it's deserved. If it's from the Society or elders I tend to get a bit uppity, but I think that's warranted.

I think I handle it pretty well, unless it comes from my wife.

I haven't had much criticism so far, I guess because I don't express much opposition to others comments. I've had a couple of posters who didn't like my comments, but they usually don't like many others either. I think it's good to hear what others think of you, It gives you a chance to examine yourself to see how you really feel about some issue.

I HATE criticism, because people tend to criticize rather than say something nice about someone.

For 90% of things you do right, nobody says a word, but for the 10% of things you might be a little off, you get criticized.

How do you handle criticism?

Some people cannot be pleased no matter what you do, so I don't like criticism from them.

NOT VERY WELL!!!!!

I spent a lot of my life in a damned cult, as you all know. I recieved nothing but criticism, in one form or another.

So after I fled the cult, I determined that I would speak my mind and no longer just take it.

So now I reply as I see necessary. Won't accept any bovine excrement.

Actually I am no longer, much bothered by criticism. A lot of stuff I just ignore. But I fear no one when it comes to criticism.
