Rarely can a person boast that he has developed the correct reaction to criticism.
However, this is an extremely important skill that can change your life for the better.
How to learn to respond correctly to criticism?
Pay attention to the person himself
It is definitely worth listening to the opinions of people close to you, whom you respect and value. The words of such a person will certainly contain sound thoughts that need to be analyzed.
If you are criticized by a person who knows nothing about you, then you need to treat his words accordingly.
Don't defend yourself
As soon as you start making excuses and defending yourself, you have lost. You need to thank the person gently and tactfully for their opinion.
Say that you have taken note of what was said, but do not continue the dialogue.
Don't criticize back
If you start "attacking" a person, it will show that their words have definitely hurt you. Especially if a loved one is trying to open your eyes to obvious things.
Therefore, you should not demonstrate the fact that you are offended by words in this way. It is better to take into account what was said and really analyze it.
