Same struggle here! It is hard to focus on the constructive side of the criticism when you don't understand where is it coming from sometimes!

@jonathantahiry Yeah I get what you mean, you need to mentally reframe it as a positive learning experience

Easier said than done sometimes though

I am one of those who hates getting criticised unfortunately 😅 but I guess it’s sth we all need to overcome in order to grow and improve.

But I get one, first I make sure the critics remain constructive and not mean, if the person’s intent isn’t good, I’d rather walk away. Otherwise, I am considering it as a learning opportunity!
