How well do you take constructive criticism?
Jump to: Newest in thread
I take it well... whether or not I follow it is a completely different matter.
Constructive criticism doesn't always equate to personal growth if it's just the other person's opinion you have to go off. |

But it does allow you to grow if you acknowledge it. It’s up to you whether you choose to take it on board or not. |

As long as it is given constructively, and it is from someone that I respect, then I would take it as intended, and use it to further my inner work.
If I was triggered then I would probably use that as a guide to where that trigger initiated.

"Depends entirely on whose giving it.
If it’s offered out of the blue by a stranger I probably won’t take it very well to be honest 
I agree. Depends whos offering such criticism.
"
If it’s a stranger you’re right. It would mean absolutely nothing  |

But is it growth if acknowledgment was already part of the fabric of your personality? |

I agree, whether you take it onboard or not it still allows you to grow as a person. |

Correct, but you will learn something about the person who criticised you. |

"Do you embrace it and take on board the observations made or do you allow your bruised ego to block and prevent personal progression
Love and peace  "
Bro, I was only kidding about the penis reduction you should not have taken that on board |

"Like others have also said it depends who has said it ..I’m also one of these people that take things to heart so it also depends on what was said .."
It’s only natural that some folk don’t like it whether it’s positive or not. It’s how we deal with that helps us grow |

Generally speaking, I've always thought I'm pretty alright with taking criticism even if it's not meant in a constructive way, but it depends on how strong my convictions are about being good at something. There really aren't many things I would contest, but that 1 time out of 10, I can get defensive. |

"Constructive is from someone who knows me personally and has context. In those circumstances I’ll consider the conversation carefully. If it’s not the above it’s doubtful I’ll give a shit. "
True but you’d learn from the latter that person giving it is a bit of a tool though? |

Totally depends who’s dishing it out. My previous foreman loved dishing out criticism I generally took it then offered to help him pick his teeth up if he didn’t leave me alone. |

"Not well at all unfortunately... 
But do you learn from it? "
I think it depends on who’s giving it and how much I value their in take on things.
I can be a bit stubborn for my own liking sometimes.

i see it as a way of improvement and when your driven it only makes you work harder to prove them wrong.
but its very important to look at who is advising you, if they have a catalog of failings themselves i'll dismiss them immediately and remind them of their past errors.

I guess it depends on the context of said criticism (I prefer the word feedback, it’s less negative and easier to swallow) and who is giving it.
If I genuinely feel it’s from the heart with good intentions then I’ll mull it over and probably take it on board.
If it’s just from a mean jerk I’ll probably ignore it and block them or if I’m feeling really mean I’d hunt them down and find out where they live then sew day old prawns into their curtain hens or down the back of the radiator and watch waiting until they go crazy wondering where the awful smell is coming from and move house   |

"Op your profile pic is fucking priceless
It’s pretty tame if you ask me. He should have hung a bag of oranges on the end "
I can’t get full erections no more so they’d just roll off and fall on the floor |

I think I take it well but me and ex been talking lately and always ends in a row (hence why were exes) then constructive criticism becomes destructive criticism if that makes sense so it depends if the criticism comes from a heart felt way or just an explosive feeling of emotion |

Yes this makes sense. Destructive criticism is a thing and only promotes negative energy. You’re better off with her being your ex |
