Depends on the criticism. In basketball and swimming I take criticism pretty well from my teammates, because its in their best interest to make me better. In life, if the statement is true, sometimes I would say "I know, thats a flaw in me". But if its not true, I tend to be very defensive. One time one of my friend we rarely hung out with, called me cheap and I blew up on him.
Like zero said, it depends on who is criticizing me. If its my teammates, I dont mind, they're trying to help me.
exactly. and if it's not i try not to blow up on people because that would just make things worse (and make me angrier) so actually i'd probably just walk away and cut off any kind of friendship with them. unless they say sorry and that may not even remedy anything. and yes i'm guilty. i also dish out criticism. constructive criticism that is and i hope in a nice way. besides that, walking up to someone and say "you're fat" or something like that is just mean. so dishing out criticism in a negative manner, no.
i take it pretty well nowadays, cause i used to be really fat, and now that i shedded it all off, im fine and i can take all the criticism ppl dish at me
Depends on the person who gives it.... If the person is a shithead him/herself i wouldnt take it lol..... Also depending on how...
^agree.. if it is someone i hate i dont give a shit what he says... but of friends.. ill TRY to learn something
I guess u can say i'm very weak. I take the words said to me very seriously. If worse, i could cry right at the moment. But then again, i could get so pissed off that i cry And, fight back 0.o. i'm werid i know=p.
^ I'm positive about criticism.too but not from someone I hate lol....he/she has no right to criticize someone if he/she is not likable..the most important thing is how people take criticism depends on how they give it...compliments before criticism...you'll find it more acceptable..
most of the time i take it really well. if it's true and i have a problem with it, i usually just get really down. if its something really unjustified then i'll just talk back.
'Sticks & stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me' hmmm...some cases its true...but then i had a ex friend who hurt me with their cruel cruel words...and the thing is...it wasnt even true...hurt me so bad, i cried...(tried not to) , quit my job, refused to talk to them n finally blocked and deleted him from MSN....lol.. and then he added me again..=/ .....but i keep the convos short...eg, hi, hows u?, thats nice, g2g..bi..=p whenever i think back to it, i try not to...i start to feel self conscious and doubt my self...feel a bit bitter..lol btw..nope i dont critisize pple...dont need to...
