Can you stand criticism?

I personally can't, no matter how much I try to hide it, it just wells up in me to an extent in which I just look away, or pretend to be keenly interested in my shoes.
It's just tough taking criticism, even the moderate kind, for me. I'm proud of my work even though I say that I think that my creations 'suck', or something of the like.

But even so, it's like someone saying bad things about a good friend, or a family member....for me anyway. >.>

So question is, how far does a person have to go 'til you just can't take his or her criticism?
Does it hurt for you?
Or do you take it as it goes? Even the harshest 'Cowell-esque' type critiques.

Discuss. ;)
 
For the most part I can take criticism but I always demand respect. I don't mind anyone telling me that I've done something wrong but I really don't take shit if I'm not told an opinion in a decent tone. It's just human decency that you convey yourself rationally before being a complete dick to someone.

Truly? :rolleyes:

I'm pretty much the same as what Aztec's said. I'm allright with being criticised, but I can't be arsed with it if there's no sense behind it. Or a good reason.

EDIT:
Although, I believe that respect goes both ways and must be earned, not demanded.
 
I actually welcome criticisms, as long as it helps you out in the end. For instance, artworks. I've received many criticisms and I usually ask for them so I can do better the next time.

But if it's something that involves your dignity, then I wouldn't really take it lightly. Reason being that I know there are people out there who would just criticize others just for the heck of it, or hurt them intentionally. If that was the case, I simply ignore the person and won't have anything to do with them.
 
Even when criticism is constructive, I seem to have an intolerance for it. I respect the fact that most criticism made towards me is constructive and... fairly polite, but there's always that itching in the back of my head which makes me want to tell them where to shove their opinions. xD

I just don't acknowledge irrational criticism. Not worth my time.
 
it completely depends on what type of criticism and how it is being relayed, if it is for instance about my hair or clothes and someone says "your hair is stupid brown! it should be red because that is popular" it really isnt good criticism because it has no reason apart from its popularity, so i tend to avoid popularity and just be me, as noone can give me any criticism which is intelligent enough to notice :P

so yeah, if i hate it i either ignore it or i challenge it
 
well if its any1 except my boss at work theyre gonna get an earfull.
No way id stand theyre and take sum1 critisizing me, i quite like arguing so il always say sumthin back.
But when my boss critisizes my work i just sit and nod
 
That's actually a good point ... your boss is one person you're kind of obliged to take some criticism from. Although, at the end of the day, you should still get some kind of courtesy or respect.
 
I cant take it. I dont like it when a piece of work Ive spent time on is pulled apart, nitpicked at and pratically spat on.
 
Critizism. I have had more than my fair share of critizism. I have worked out the best way to deal with it. Because peronally I lose all respect for people who think they can do that. It just brings up a raging anger inside me.

but anyway how to deal with it: When the offender critizises you, Laugh at them. If you take offence to what they say, then they are winning. so laugh at them and you will win. also if you keep that up then they WILL ignore you after a short time.
 
The only thing that I don't like to be criticized on is my art. I'm not a professional artist, nor will I ever be. It's my hobby. And when people say "well this is off, and that is disproportionate"...it just pisses me off and makes me feel like NOT doing it anymore.

Anything else? You can criticize me in any way shape or form, and I won't take offense.
 
No, I certainly wouldn't. If it was critical for my career or something, maybe...but it's my hobby, and I don't like my art to be picked apart. XD
 
A person needs to be able to handle criticism. Because, in the real world, there will be a lot of it. Particularly in the work world.

I have learned to handle it. I may not always agree with the criticism. But I am not going to let it hurt my feelings. Besides many times criticism can help a person to improve. If somebody is constantly giving you compliments may not always be telling the truth. I would rather a person be totally honest with me.

I don't feel you should be in any position to criticise art, it's why I fucking hated art in School, the teachers keep telling you how to do your own style, which isn't right at all. It put me right off art all together, which is why tomorro wI'll be recieving a D at the maximum in my art grade.

I myself have gotten used to criticism I get it at work alot because I'm a bit slow getting used to things there, and occasionally with essay writing and with my guitar playing and acting. You get used to it, however I'm with Rhea on the art Critique, you shouldn't criticise someone else's art as it is their form of expression and their art. Not yours.
