The creator has a vulnerable soul.
Creative individuals very painfully tolerate criticism, in any of its manifestations. They are rarely satisfied with the result of their own work, and if someone criticizes it, then the reaction is unambiguous: a person loses confidence and doubts, common sense prevails. In order to teach yourself how to react properly to criticism, you must understand that there are no absolute geniuses and bezdarey, and especially in the working environment. But there are corporate standards, the responsibility for compliance is borne by the head, who has every right to state his point of view. And if your opinion is at odds with him, I advise you not to defend your "child", and not to fall into depression. Clarify the reason for the criticism, and its essence, most likely, the comments will not be so significant, that would react violently to them.
Upstairs.
Careerists are distinguished by their determination, so any criticism for them serves as a signal of a threat to their careers. Most often, the reaction of such people to criticism is the justification and immediate correction of these errors. At what stage of your career you would be, you will have to face criticism all the time. Your boss also has a boss. Therefore, you should not take all the comments from the bosses as a threat to your career. Excuses are not always the right reaction, but an effective way to spoil your business image.
Patience and a little effort.
Workaholics, they are also "labor horses" criticism of their work is often recognized as a personal insult. Workers pay their best to work, and consider that this is enough for the full satisfaction of their superiors. After all, work for them takes first place in life. You must learn to be constructive, respond to any comments, clarify the details and calmly correct them.
Do not get sick for the cause.
For people who are not particularly enthusiastic, criticism is nothing more than a tediousness of the boss, to which they very rarely react. Such people would not be bothered to change their attitude not only to work, but also to criticism. At one point, the boss will want to replace such an employee and choose a more interested one in his work activity. Ask questions, clarify the nuances, make an offer about the solution of the problem.
But there are people who criticize a person only for the sake of criticism. They do not care what to criticize, the main thing is the result - a humiliated and frustrated person. This kind of criticism is considered a powerful and effective way of manipulation. Most often, non-constructive criticism is resorted to by men. Thus, they affect their loved ones, colleagues and subordinates. This is their defensive reaction to female guile. Criticizing us, they instill a sense of guilt, gratitude, and affect women's self-esteem. Do not take such words seriously, use this information to improve yourself.
Follow these simple rules:
1. If the criticism really upsets you, let your interlocutor know about it. Do not be shy of your feelings.
2. You can sum up the words spoken in your address, ask again and clarify what exactly the person in you does not like.
3. Do not hide your opinion about this.
4. Thank for the advice or offer your alternative way out.
In no case should not be justified. Criticize in return is also not a way out, if you want to provoke a person to a conflict. Attack, if you are sure that you will be able to control the situation, and you know how to benefit from it. "The word is silver, but silence is gold," in this case, not the best reaction to criticism. Silence, as a reaction to violent emotions, irritates some people. Conflict by itself will not settle, it is necessary to undertake something. Remember absolute silence in response to insults - similar to absorbing negative energy.
