Taking criticism well.?

Let  me  say  something to you that  I wish I could  tell you I  thought up myself, but I didn't.  It  was something  a very very wise  person   once   said...... .     Nobody EVER  got something  right, who hadn't   got it  wrong a  few times  first.   What  I will say that  did come from  me, is this:    The people  who  have  always  ended up being the most  admired in this world,  are the ones  who  struggled  and  struggled  with something for a  long time,  and  nobody believed in them ,  and they  were  mocked, and made  fun of,  and laughed  at,   or insulted.    But    they never quit  They just  KNEW somehow,   that sooner or later  this thing    they  were   working so hard   on,   was  going to come right   in the end.\n                                              It  doesn't matter if  you  never "invent the wheel"  or   find   some  fantastic  new  thing  that    will make you a  ton of money.      It's just  the  same for a person   who simply keeps  on  trying to be better  at this business  we  call "living".    My dad  used to call it stickwithitness"  he   talked about it  so much when I  was  young,  that  in the end,  every  time  I  duffed  something up, or  I  just  wanted to  quit,   I could hear my  dad  say that word   "Stickwithitness"-    and  that  was enough to make  me   grin,  and  think  to myself "Oooohkaaaaay   Dad,   watch  this...." Then I'd  just  keep on going.     \n                                                 So my  advice is  this...   any time   anybody  laughs  at you or  makes  fun of you for  "getting it  wrong"....  screwing   it up.      Just smile to yourself,  and be  encouraged to keep  right on  going,  because, you  see,  people  who mock others,   usually do it because  they never had  what it  takes to "stickwithit"   and what they  really  want  is  for YOU  to fail  so they don't  feel so much alone.

Keep your individuality.\nSometimes people have to agree to disagree.\nMost people think they are always right. lol\nI think looking at things from all angles is called.....\nUSING WISDOM.

Just respect their opinion. If you are butting heads use an empathic approach. Put the ball in their court and allow them to problem-solve.

drop hate. Act like a child, never look back, don't worry about tomorow, live for the moment. Good Luck.

Your premise is flawed. Criticism & dissent (not hate, silly) are essential to keeping a democracy honest.

Some people can't take any kind of constructive criticism.  You would think they would at least learn how to use spell check.  You're not awful, just honest.  You have to be prepared for any kind of answer on here, and at least yours was well meaning!

Criticism. It is great if someone support your positive qualities, but if that praise is undeserved then it is at best worthless. Criticism, even if one doesn't like it, is the only way to learn your faults and correct them. No one needs a fawning sycophant, everyone needs honesty.

One of life's ironies, isn't it?\nHate the hate.\nIt's one possible natural response for a genuinely good person to see hate and find it so despicable that they hate it.\n\nFunny little lives we lead.

Get a strong opinion. You don't have to agree with it, just find an opinion that has ideas to support it. What's the prompt on?

No, it's all good.  You were right to face him with something to think about that may help him.  It sounds like constructive criticism that offended someone who needed to hear the truth.

Unless you can express yourself much better, you will have some real problems. Start with a statement, qualify that statement (explain it), and then in your conclusion bring out the major points and justifications.

Drop the ghetto slang, speak with confidence and clarity, Ask your questions and ignore the people who want to insult you.\n(report abuse really works) and people will respect you.\n{Here and in the real world}

It's hard to give advice when you don't give any specifics about the behavior you're speaking about.\n\nHere's an idea for you, though.  Think of a way you can elicit the behavior you're discussing out of the audience, and then point it out.  That'll be a real grabber.

Have a meeting where you all verbally reinact common situations to which these negative comments draw attention. Perhaps in doing so you all can become better prepared when confronting said problem. List the people who give negative comments  and treat them with caring and concern. Try listening intently and and make a note of changes that need to be made.

I think people just answer like that to gain points. If it helps at all I share your frustration and think that the old saying rings true on here.....if you dont have anything nice (or maybe change that word to constructive) to say dont say anything at all! :)
