Sometimes you can hear that if you are developing, if you are flexible, etc., then you simply need to love criticism addressed to you. You need to accept feedback from everyone and naturally work with it. Always develop, change and work on yourself. And if (God forbid) you don’t love her, then you’ll simply NEVER grow personally at all and generally don’t make friends, and you’re all so nervous and hot-tempered. You can’t listen to anything normally, you don’t listen to smart ladies and gentlemen, otherwise it’s all for the good, you’re in vain brushing it aside! And even if we talk about constructive criticism, or even if we cover up criticism with the fashionable phrase “feedback”, then I assure you YOU DO NOT HAVE TO listen to it , accept and even more so love! That's it! And nothing else. It is your PERSONAL business, your CHOICE - to accept or NOT accept criticism and/or feedback! Believe me, personal growth DOES NOT EQUALize loving criticism addressed to you! It’s your business from whom, when and what to accept! And if someone tries to prove the opposite to you, you can safely send them to the edge of the forest. And in general, all this nonsense about loving criticism, well really - who likes to hear unpleasant things about themselves? This already smacks of masochism! Moreover, NO ONE CANCELED the feedback rules! And the most important thing is to ask whether the person is ready to hear feedback at a given moment in time. And if you’re not ready, then keep it to yourself) Or be prepared to receive a reaction that you won’t like. This, of course, does not mean that feedback is not needed at all. Need more! BUT only you choose when, from whom and for what reason! Everything else is an invasion of your boundaries! Of course, working on yourself is everyday actions and a lifelong journey. However, it is possible to work on yourself without listening to criticism. Working on yourself is not about constantly adapting to other people, but quite the opposite. You can request feedback yourself, from specific people (whose opinion is important to you or you trust this person as an expert in a certain topic), on specific events. And you can and should work with such feedback. And everything else, I repeat, is a violation of your boundaries! INSTGR_LINK Do you like criticism? How do you react if you criticize without asking??
