1. Criticisms hurt.
First things first- anybody giving you criticism will intentionally or unintentionally hurt you. It is human nature to feel hurt when someone points out a flaw in us. We have to accept that we are all born humans and not robots. Nobody will be perfect in this world and everybody is flawed. When we understand that, we will be able to look beyond the hurt and then easily be able to deal with criticism.
2. Sift out good criticism from the bad ones.
All of us have an opinion but that doesn't mean they are always right. What matters most would be knowing where the feedback is coming from and understanding the true intentions of the person who is giving you criticisms. A good friend or family member would only want you the best for you compared to a jealous hi-bye friend who only hurls nonsense to hurt your feelings and feel good about it later. When someone dear to you says something to you, they have your best interest in mind and possibly there is some truth to those words, especially even more likely if its heard before.
3. Be thankful for CONSTRUCTIVE feedback.
It's not easy to be honest and frank. Only people who care about you will be 100% transparent to you on how they feel. Take time to thank them for giving you friendly and helpful feedback. Appreciate the fact that the person told you something that can make you an even better person. On the other hand, please do laugh off and ignore any lousy words and destructive feedback. Don't, I repeat, don't let it affect you in anyway.
4. Work on your flaws.
Learn to work on the bad issues that you have. Sometimes it may not come from anyone but it's that few bad habits that you yourself are guilty of making. Identify the problems that you have and work on a realistic plan to break the habit. Support will definitely be given to you by your loved ones so keep your confidence up and keep moving forward.
And that's how you deal with criticisms. It's not that bad now right?
