How do you handle it? are you the type of person who will get frusturated with the person who criticizing you and are like"WHAT!? Why isn't it perfect!? or,WHY ISN'T IT GOOD ENOUGH!? this is mostly talking about stuff like your homework and other things. Or do you get like depressed and sad and stuff?
 
I really don't take well to criticism it's like last year in college i had to be assest on my coaching ability and for a warm up i did A set of activities that was better then the person before mine and my tutor was like "Stephen you can do better than that for your warm up" i was like "WTF his was shit and I'm the one who fails" and then i walked off.

that didn't go down well wit my tutor and then he started to tell me all the crap i did wrong and i knew i had done it wrong and i was jus like "fook this" and stopped listening to him.

all in all whenever i get criticized i tend to get angry and just stop listening to whoever it is.
 
Well it mostly depends on the way that person criticises me: if he criticises using words like trash, crap or other expressions that might insult me then I would probably get a little angry and give him a similar reaction.:P
 
It soley depends on my mood, if Im happy Il take it fine & with enthusiasm improve what ever it was in whatever way I can and be happy in the fact that I HAVE improved xD

If, however, Im having a grumpy day or whatever Il probably over react and get a bit pissy, tell them to go do it themselves etc etc

Il probably react a similar way if Im doing someone a favour and they criticise what Im doing ...haha

Edit* If Im being critisiced for something that has naff all to do with anyone else though, like my appearance, my house or anything like that then, Il tell them to naff off, it's none of their business
 
If the person has a good reason to criticize me about anything, then yeah I handle it pretty well although I admit it may sting a little. But then I realize that in a way they're just trying to help and really, what other way can they do it if not be brutally honest yet be constructive at the same time? So sometimes I do ask for criticisms and appreciate them, although there's still that small negativity attached and it kinda lowers my self-esteem, but not too low. Just enough that I can bring myself to get back up and try a different approach to things.
 
If the critism is constructive, I handle it well. Being able to accept critism will only make you better in what you do. Sure at first I might be taken aback, but once I think about it, I will be ok later and I will take that critism into consideration. However, if the person is clearly just bashing, then I just roll my eyes and move on.
 
It really depends on what I'm being criticized for, if it's something I care about then I won't take it very well. It also depends on the person that's criticizing me i.e. whether I respect their opinion or not, and also if, like Rydia said, it's constructive criticism or just a random thing to piss me off.
I don't react at the moment, but that person just looses face and my respect, and in the future is just going to be ignored by me.
 
I take criticism very well. I've noticed that I really care and give full attention to constructive criticism here because they wouldn't even bother trying to help if they really didn't care. I take all of that kind of stuff in and sometimes I agree, and sometimes I don't, but I still see where they are getting at.

Some criticism though is meant to be hurtful I noticed where they give a critique, but they don't take into account anything else like the feelings of the person they are critiquing. There are different ways to critique that aren't hurtful. Those kind I just ignore because if they can't take the time and decency to at least respect the person's feelings, then why should I take the time to read or take in their critique whether they are right or wrong

I'm typically the same way you described, Kellbell. :P Also, if somebody notices something off on my art I want to be TOLD about it and WHAT I can do to fix it. I don't need to be told "well this looks like shit, her cheek is too pointy, your art sucks" like I was just recently bombarded with by VR and Lord Kaos. If it's proper constructive crit, then I can take it. If it's just somebody looking to tell me my stuff sucks and nothing else, then I get really pissed off.
 
It depends. If I have done something wrong then I don't mind, as I'd admit that I'd done it badly.
However if I was criticised for something beyond my control, then I'm not very happy about it, and have no problem letting the criticisor know exactly what I think of them.
 
It depends on a few things, If I know I have done something wrong and am already pissed off about it and someone starts getting in my face about it, I will probably tell them to fuck off. If I am being offered constructive criticism I will usually take it well.

It can get a little annoying if I am trying to put constructive criticism to practice and I am being repetitively told the same thing over and over. But I will usually remain calm.

And of course if someone criticizes me with no intention of helping me improve myself (i.e. "This Work is shit") I will get pissed.
 
I pretty much handle criticism very well no matter what, I'll happily accept criticism and listen to it if I think I need it, because at the end of the day, it'll help you improve something or makes sure you don't make the same mistake in the future. If I don't feel I should need it then I'll just switch off and go into 'Mmm/Umm' mood considering I don't listen...so I just agree for the sake of agreeing.

However, I do get pissed when you get that one person who deliberately targets you just so they can criticize you and no intention of doing anything else. So yeah, they piss me off. :monster:
 
In most ways i could give a rats ass what people think of me and so when someone says sumin i just tell em' if they dont like it fuck off.. but sometimes someone will say something that just hits a spot and i deal with it physically
 
If the person criticising is being a prick and clutching at straws it really pisses me off - and they know about it. But if what they're saying is true I'll listen. If it's something that I did shit because I don't care about it I'll switch off and nod every now and then until they stop.
 
if its criticism thats to help me get better at something then i'd be okay but if someone criticized for something thats my own personal preference then I'd get pretty pissed off at them. I can't stand people who put you down by critisizing something that really does not matter
 
I think I handle criticism quite well, tbh. At this point in my life, I've come to accept that I will be under scrutiny no matter where I am or what I'm doing; it's just easier on me to be able to take that criticism and use it to my advantage.

Another important ability to have is to be able to weed through the genuine and the downright obvious flaming. Sure, there are going to be people out there who're going to say things just to get a rise out of said individual, but it all depends on what they do with it. Some people flip out and some people simply ignore it. I am the latter.
 
I usualy just lauph, nothing ever realy pisses me off :P. If its constructive criticism then i'll take it into account and use it.
 
If it's constructive criticism then I usually take it very well, because I know myself that I'm not perfect and am always looking for ways to improve myself.. whatever it is, so I tend to value the advice of others.

When people just criticise you for the sake of it.. whatever their reason is, I don't know. To make them feel better about themselves, perhaps? Well, anyway, I always just try to ignore that kind because it really isn't worth the energy that it would take to care. -_-
 
I take criticism quite hard. I'll usually tell the person that I don't care if it's a friend or a peer, or attempt to seem to take it ok if it's by someone else, such as a tutor or teacher (But I'll never look them in the eye).
If they're criticising something like homework, I'll either get angry by thinking that I worked hard on it (Which I usually do), get slightly dejected and look at the object as if it's imperfect and its about to damage my life somehow, or (very rarely) just ignore it and think that their opinion is irrelevant.
