    As someone who is sensitive in criticism i always repeat their words in my head and i imply myself that it isn't that deep but whenever i suddenly remember it, it irritates me. Even in school if i was given simple criticism i would overthink what others might think of me, but i grew out to take it as a lesson although i still am sensitive 🤣 thank you for this video!

    As a type A high achieving female I had a hard time early in my career with this. But oddly I had been on numerous sports teams and never had the same reaction when a coach criticized me or gave me feedback. I would immediately open my mind and thought “he’s trying to make me better so the team is better”. If you trust and respect your manager, then view them as a coach. It completely changed my mindset on feedback.

    Thank you so much; I’ve been carrying around this “guilt” that I have to change to make someone else feel comfortable or better about themselves when it’s not about me, it’s them. And perception and sense of self is so important, now that I’m learning that; that one action does not define your whole personality, it makes you human; and you would lose yourself if you believe every criticism that someone has about you when you’re just minding your own business and doing your thing while setting boundaries.

    I thought the same thing! I hate to admit it, but there is an urge in me to be seen as ‘good’. And it’s something that should be dealt with. It’s not healthy. I’ve had a thought just now, that in a way I show these people disrespect because with my defense I am telling them: ‘no, what you’ve experienced and felt was wrong, change your feelings of that moment, quickly!’. And this disrespect of them serves to clear my name. It’s kind of egoistic (or egocentric, I don’t know which one).

    This is such a very timely reminder of the universe to me ( like a heavy smack in the nape) to say ‘Thank You for your feedback’ to those who misunderstood my calmness and neutrality over chaotic situations. They thought of me as unsupportive of their negative emotions and blind or self-centered opinions. Well, my nature is not egoic that is why people view me as ‘not normal’. I have learned so much how to ‘respond’ instead of to ‘react’. And believe me folks, its more calming and peaceful ❤️

    I’m a videographer and I always have to send my videos to get reviewed by the client. I put my heart and soul into my work so when I get,what I now know as “feedback”, I get all worked up bc I know how much time and effort I put into a video to make it perfect to present. And in my mind it’s as perfect as it can be so when I get feedback of how it could be different I always take it as criticism even though I know that it’s not. This video really has helped me to understand how to process feedback for work so at the end of the day I have healthy customer relationships to keep my business going. Thank you!

    I think it is harder for anyone who works in creative endeavors--our creativity comes from such a deep, personal place within us it makes us vulnerable and criticism can seem like such rejection! Trying to think of it as a critique to make something better rather than an attack on my inner being is helpful but requires some work and self-coaching to overcome.

I was a little defensive, but I manage to say thank you and as what I can do better. Notes: 1. It's someone's opinion. 2. They're opinion is a reflection of them. 3. Pause and reflect on the opinion. 4. Try and come up with another question. 5. It's only how that person sees you in the 3D reality and doesn't mean it's a feedback. 6.Thank you.

    The problem about accepting criticism is, the more you take a criticism, the more people enjoying ride on you like a puppet. I have experienced this till a stage I realized those people were not really criticising me, they are bullying me by picking up on any points they could to bring me down and the things they criticised me are the things I have been doing much better while they do it way worst, e.g. a D student criticised an A student for not answering a question correctly while the D student answered it even more all wrong and that's why She's a D student. I do think that we need to learn some reaction to make those who criticised us feel insulted, stupid or wasted their time criticising us. This is why some defensive acts needed or if you to stay quiet or ignore them, make sure to do so with spiritual "wall" buit in between to intimidate those who criticised

    This is true. It's ok to set your own boundaries (not to be confused with defensiveness) with people as well. Even in this case many can confuse setting a boundary as a negative response when all you are doing is owning yourself before others begin to. Many people can become the boss of you when you are just trying to live your life if you allow them to. I also feel that before I offer advice or criticism (unless you are at a job playing a certain role that can change the game) it's best to ask what they are wanting to gain from the conversation or issue at hand.

    I dont think an opinion always says something about ourselves. Thats a perfect way to deflect any sincere feedback you receive and keep yourself from growing. If I go to a restaurant and the food is tasteless then you can say that that is my opinion, or you consider it to be true, check your food and if it is true you take this opportunity to improve your spicing.

Its is actually true that whatever we say says something about us, but that doesn't mean it never simultaniously says something about the other person as well.

    I was thinking, right before you said it... it's *information* about how you are being *perceived* by *that person.* and so... if it's a work situation and/or their perception is important to me, the question is... how can I change their perception to my advantage? So I may want to ask them for more information. "Can you expand on that?" And maybe even ask them, what sort of changes would alter their perception. (Still trying to work out the best way to ask that without giving away power or appearing to commit to the changes they want... maybe asking, how they would handle xyz situation.)

    I like your detailed explanation from different angles and your presentation, too. It is not easy to get a hold of ourselves in the moment when getting criticized. But your words and how they are expressed might help to get the truths ingrained deeper into the brain. I said it before, but I really think it’s the right channel for me. I would also like a video about accepting more easily that you are to blame, when the criticism is justified.

    Let’s remind ourselves of the meaning of criticism: ‘the expression of disapproval of someone or something on the basis of perceived faults or mistakes.’ Note the word perceived. Criticism can either be fair or unfair. It can be constructive or unconstructive. Fair and constructive criticism should obviously be taken on board. Unfair and unconstructive criticism shouldn’t.
