Most people I know don't handle criticism very well. As long as it's deserved, I think I handle criticism pretty well and I take pride in the fact that I'm not too proud. Which boat are you in?
I handle it great, why do you want to know? What, do you think I can't handle criticism? Is that what you think??? Well, **** YOU!!!!
I'd love to say I can handle criticism, but honestly I can't. It nags at me endlessly. I also have trouble criticizing other people. When I get a paper back in a class, or we have peer critiques, a lot of times I don't even look at the feedback. It boggles my mind that my classmates are eager for everyone to tell them what's wrong with their work. Of course, I do wish I had that mindset. I've always viewed it as a personality trait deficiency. I wish I could handle any and all criticism. I really do.
Not well, especially if I feel it is unjustified. I recently took a co-worker all the way up the chain of command over this very issue. I want to be left alone to do my job. I will listen to a supervisor or administrator if they know what they are talking about, but co-workers should be nice or stay away. I should probably work for myself, something I will likely do in the next few years. I am fiercely independent.
Denial Undeserved sense of pride and accomplishment Know-it-all-ism I think I'm doing pretty well with these tools
i tell my mommy and proceed to cry myself to tears till i fall asleep in the corner of my parents bedroom
if I respect the person criticizing me in the arena that he/she is criticizing me in, I take it very well if I think the person is a moron in that arena, I will try to evaluate it, but I'll usually dismiss it.. and if i don't know the person's capability.. yeah, i'll take it well and try and figure it out
I take criticism well. And punches to the gut. Dont even try to kick me in the balls, unless your toes hitting brass is fun to you. I used to really take cricism really really bad. Until I found out they all were right. World 1 - Me 0. But I'll even the score.
