Yeah I welcome constructive criticism too. Those kinds that is meant for building up, so it does not warrant the use of cruel or demeaning words.

Do you accept your criticism easily?
- Thread starter Sanjeev

There is a very popular saying in Hindi about criticism. It says that you should keep yourself surrounded with people who give you constructive criticism. You should be very respectful for them. They help you stay grounded and they provide you opportunities to improve and actually build your character.
There is constructive criticism. It helps us grow better and improves our personality. What's being criticise in us must be thought in depth to make amends to ourselves and let those who criticise us see the new version of ourselves. Let's not react impulsively.
I always welcome constructive criticism, as it gives us scope to improve ourselves; otherwise, we may not be able to know our flaws. I have met lots of friends who have always pointed out my mistakes but never did it in front of others. I appreciate such people who really want me to improve.
I agree with you sanjeev. Constructive criticism helps us know the things we need to improve on and get better.
As Indira before me said, it depends on the type of criticism and my feelings towards the critic. If the criticism is constructive, I will accept and acknowledge it. If it is destructive, I will insult the person, especially if the criticism is from someone I neither like nor respect.
Even if it's constructive criticism I don't like it and its tough to handle for me but after few hours I do think about the criticism and may try to improve but my first impression is always that I cannot accept criticisms
It's hard to accept a criticism despite constructive. The reason for that is pride. Well, when we are alone we can weigh the gravity of the criticism. It might be defamatory or baseless, so we can react and seek justice.
I agree and my first reaction is always straight and I cannot accept criticism easily but after some time I do remember what I was told and if I can improve on it
Criticisms can be positive too, so we shouldn't feel that every criticism is for our own bad, no. We need to keep in mind that it is this kind of criticism that actually makes us grow.
For me l can take the criticism very lightly and move on from that nonsenses.
Sometimes people do give constructive criticism but the way they put it might be harsh. Some good leaders are an expert in giving constructive criticism in a very polite and firm way. They know well how to weigh their words and put it forward without hurting the person. These leaders are good at grooming people under them.
You said it right: how will one tolerate criticism from a person you don't know or don't respect? I have never faced criticism from such people. I wonder what people get when they criticize someone they don't even know well.
Most people criticize celebs like this. The same way they criticize and troll hardik pandya before the World Cup and now they are appreciating
That's sad. I was hurt when people trolled Hardik Pandaya. It was sad to see people talking about his married life on social media. That's why I don't care about people because I know when I am in a difficult situation, people will always criticize me and will stay calm after some time when I don't react.
I am not averse to criticism and I even seek out for it. The only challenge is when you criticise me harshly. That would always trigger a reaction from me which might not always be positive.
I was sad too but this social media makes you a villain or a star with a single post and these are some of the cons of social media
But we have seen Hardik Pandaya arguing with Rohit Sharma in one of the IPL matches. This is evident that he is an arrogant person and is not disciplined at all. Also, people say in his person life he is sort of flirt.
It is difficult because everyone wants to believe that he does everything without mistakes and any other opinion will be unacceptable for him. Before, it was difficult for me and I always refused to discuss my actions or decisions. But then I realized that even in criticism you should look for something that you can fix because you don't see yourself from the same point of view as other people
I think that we are humans beings and we can't be flawless. But we can always work and be a better version of ourselves. And with maturity and experience, we develop a sense where we can differentiate between a constructive criticism and the one that is just put to bring us down. One can always take the constructive one positively and work on improvement. But for the later one, it's better to ignore and don't let it affect you.
