Criticism is always difficult. In this article, we will tell you how you can respond to someone who criticizes you.
How to properly respond to criticism addressed to you
Remember that you are not obligated to accept any criticism unless you ask for it.
This violates your personal boundaries.
However, it is worth calmly listening to the person and asking why and why this topic was raised.
There is no need to form an opinion about yourself based on criticism.
After all, people most often criticize because of their lack of self-confidence, projections and stereotypes.
Don't take what is said personally.
Ask questions. Ask why it is so important for the person to tell you about this, what is the purpose of this.
Take care of yourself and think about what you hear.
The most important thing in responding to criticism is to turn to your rational side, pushing emotions into the background.
If you are unable to adequately and rationally respond to constructive criticism, or you do not have the opportunity to avoid destructive criticism, it is better to consult a psychologist.
