You don't have to be able to accept criticism - on the contrary, it is much more important to learn how to defend yourself against it.

To avoid drowning in the caustic saliva of someone else's grumbling, use the advice in this article.

1. Instead of diving headfirst into a negative review, remember that there are positive ones too – be sure to find them and read (listen to, etc.).

2. Pay attention not only to those people who are negative, but also to those who sincerely praise your work. You also need to be able to accept positive feedback and compliments.

3. Start looking for like-minded people – those who are seriously passionate about the same things as you.

Communicating with such people will only help you develop.

4. You can read the critical comment again, but only to analyze whether there is anything useful for you in it. If a worthwhile idea has been discovered, it would be a sin not to use it – use the critical comment to your advantage.

5. Finally, the best way to deal with critical reviews is to work. Get to work without delay and don't worry about the quality.
