How well do you deal with criticism or correction?

For me,

It depends on the source.

Generally though,

I’d say I do not deal well.

It depends on how it is brought. Tact can be very useful and I don’t like aggressive communication styles.

In general I don’t deal with it well. Mostly because most of the time I’m doing my best. Or the best that I can.

So when criticism arrives, it like “well try walking in my shoes buddy”

Do you mean correction in the sense that criminals are corrected? Like, reprimand?

I curl into a little ball and cry. I don’t take criticism well. I think it has to do with my past. But I’m learning to be less sensitive and not take things personally. The struggle is real though.

I mean like,

For example,

My husband always corrects me when I mispronounce a word or something.

It’s annoying but I do the same thing to him.

Hubby is constantly correcting me, too. I think cause he’s smarter than me, Husbands are ■■■■■■■■. Lol.

I deal with criticism well, if the person and their communication style are non-violent. I reflect on it, and can respond normally. Though I may feel sad for a bit.

I deal with criticism badly if I get an unjust or narcissist vibe with either the person or their communication style. It triggers me and I go into fight/flight.

My husband also thinks he’s smarter than me.

He’s dead wrong.

I mean, when I want my self esteem ruined I’ll watch jeopardy with him. When I’m pissed, I turn on real housewives with the sound up. Lol. 15 years of marriage does this to a person.

My husband’s thing is math and languages.

He’s real, super good with both.

But his pop culture knowledge is ■■■■.

It depends whether it’s constructive and helpful or not.

Same here. I don’t tolerate commentary from people I have no respect or use for.

Crawl back into your hole!

You described me to a t.

I’m passably good at exact sciences and languages, but zero street skill.

I’m not married, but criticism from women I like has always been harsh and left me gasping for air. Whereas criticism from strangers doesn’t ruffle a single hair on my head. I’m like, ok dude I see your point but you don’t see mine, so scram. But when I’m into someone and trying my best, I become vulnerable.

Same……

But if I asked for someone’s opinion and they give it to me- I don’t mind, I appreciate it
