How well do you take criticism?

[Psydye]

As long as it's constructive and I can understand where they're coming from at some points I take it pretty well. Though sometimes I have "slight" fanboy moments I try not to let those encompass me and for the most part I don't!

 

[Stevey Queen]

I take it and shove it back up there ***

Just kidding.

Actually I will listen to them and be like okay and ignore what they say. I just can't be bothered to really care.

As someone who studied art and now in fashion illustration, I usually take criticisms pretty well. For the most part, they helped me better with technical things.

If the comments were meant to be offensive, then they're not constructive criticisms-- they're just plain insults. Then I would just question about the person's intent instead.

 

[Celestefey]

Normally I can take criticism pretty well. I don't mind it. To be honest I do really appreciate criticism as long as it's constructive because then I can better myself and improve myself. It's a lot easier when people point things out to me that I'm doing wrong and could improve on because normally I'd probably have never even noticed those little things. I think as long as people are being constructive when giving you criticism, that's perfectly okay and you should at least take on board and consider those as potential ideas when bettering yourself like in a certain skill or something.

However... I do get pretty touchy on whoever gives me criticism. If it's a teacher, I don't mind. But if it is someone who I feel is being unfair and harsh to me or someone who is doing this with the wrong intent, then I absolutely have a problem with it and normally just ignore what they have to say. For example: When I was on work experience. I arrived late on one day and I was only 2 minutes late. I was only being given the crappy jobs and it was not like they even needed nor wanted me there so it wasn't such a huge deal. It also didn't help the bus times were just so awkward meaning I'd either arrive there extremely early or just by the skin of my teeth... And the buses often ran a couple of minutes late too. I did apologize and they said it was okay. But then the next day, the bus just stopped for no reason, so once again I was 2 minutes late for work experience. I walked in and then I was given a lecture on why it is is an important life skill to be punctual to things and how I should be ready for work at 10 and blah blah. I knew that... I'm always in on time for school and on time for other things, yet he was just throwing a huge hissy fit over me being 2 minutes late because of stupid buses. That being said, I didn't even care what he had to say. I might sound INCREDIBLY ignorant for saying this, but the manager of the business is an incredibly rude, selfish and impatient man. So what. I won't listen to people who are just making me feel like I am merely just a burden.

So yes. I agree. You should at least listen to constructive criticism... But whether you accept it or not depends on who the person is. >:V

I used to take it well when dancing, now if I don't respect you, I will not accept criticism... I hate being told I'm wrong or doing something wrong.

Oh yes, totally! Not every criticism is valid or helpful, because sometimes the person giving them aren't reliable.

badly im pretty sensitive...

*applauds*
Both the mindset, and the clever wording.

I take it pretty well, I guess. I was in a creative writing critique group in high school, so I got an idea of how to use constructive criticisms constructively and not to take them to heart.

 

[SecondSider]

I take it seriously and learn from it when I know it's from someone I know would usually be trustworthy. I don't take it seriously when it comes from stupid teens my age who try to be "cool" by avoiding classic films and watch those stupid action flicks or dumb comedy films. I also hate taking criticism from this kid I know, as it just gets on my nerves everyday.

 

[Caius]

Personal criticism? I take it pretty bad.

Artistic? I'm used to it.

 

[laceydearie]

It all depends on my mood I guess. I don't take personal criticism as well as I do academic criticism, but I'm improving at that. Honestly overall it's not a ~huge deal to me. I always learn from it, though.

 

[Bambi]

I take personal criticism EXTREMELY badly unless its from someone that I care about. If it is someone who knows and loves me I take it really well. If the person doesn't know me I basically have a "AND WHO THE **** ARE YOU?!" attitude. Honestly though, who offers personal criticism to someone they don't know?! A-holes.

As for artistic criticism, I enjoy it as long as the person is more experienced/talented than me in my eyes. If they are less experienced and talented then again I have the "WHO THE **** ARE YOU!?" attitude. Otherwise I take it very well and can learn from it.

I have this attitude because I don't think I can be personally judged if you don't truly know me and I can't be artistically judged if you have nothing I can learn from.

 

[oath2order]

Personal criticism, if it comes from my coworkers, I do not tolerate, considering how I could probably name about ten things for everybody that would be my retort.

 

[BeckTheMayor]

Laugh at it. Cause, whatever the slag me about is probably true.
On the internet I take it pretty well, I just ignore it.

When in artistic criticism, I kinda go "And who are you to judge my art?" And that's it.

 

[Midoriya]

No one tries to criticize me anymore now that I think about it because I'm 6 foot 2 and have done karate for six years (still doing it). "You want to be stupid and judge me, or be my friend?" Is how I would respond

 

[Zanessa]

Hmm..
I only take constructive criticism with my writing, first off..
"Oh, you shouldn't like Twilight." -Not gonna listen to you.
"Your stories are great. But maybe you should make shorter chapters as longer chapters are sometimes too complicated." -Will listen and consider the idea.
"You suck at writing. Go die!"-Haha, no.

You know.. if you told me to go kill myself four years ago, I probably would've listened. But now IDGAF about what people say about me. My writing is more important than whether you like how I act or not.

 

[SecondSider]

I laugh at the criticism I've received for the freakin' obvious stuff. This kid I know would usually riff my taste in movies, and he even misread this:

He thought the cover said "Balliff" and he criticized me for trying to correct him. So I laughed.

 

[Buttonsy]

It depends on a lot of context. Like for example:
1. How seriously do I take the thing that someone is criticizing me for? If I feel like I can genuinely grow in a significant way from a critique, I'll appreciate it, but at the same time, there are some things I just don't care that much about. Like if I decided to mess around with oil paints and then someone came in and gave me a bunch of critiques, oil painting isn't even my area of art and I'm not trying to learn it seriously.

2. Is it actually an appropriate time and place to get a critique? Timing is important.

3. Is the critique constructive? If not, then it's just an insult.

 

[betta]

it all depends on my mood, & who it's coming from.
I hate when somebody tries to criticize me but they do worse than me.
I think I take criticism somewhat badly lmfao my fuse is too short & i get angry & annoyed quickly, specially if the "advise" they're trying to give me isn't logical
