- inactive, on 10/21/2007, -1/+41Are you saying I can't handle criticism??? WTF?!
- KillerJ59J, on 10/21/2007, -0/+18Are you criticizing me?!?!?! ... whore.
- dunderballer, on 10/22/2007, -0/+17Don't tell me I can't handle criticism. I'll handle it however I god damn want.
- socialpyramid, on 10/21/2007, -0/+16Yeah, that was cool. That part about not even considering where the criticism is coming from is kind of revolutionary, because like no one does that. It sounds like a great way to work toward truly being open minded.
- skihigh2002, on 10/23/2007, -0/+15Crying uncontrollably and curling into the fetal position is not a suggestion? I'm quite surprised.
- thecoolk, on 10/21/2007, -1/+13that advise would help a lot of people that i know....
- TGMD, on 10/23/2007, -0/+10Here's my three tips:
1. Smile nicely and nod your head
2. Then dig up dirt on the bastard that critized your and rub it in his face
3. Tell him to ***** off - JustinHorne, on 10/23/2007, -1/+9Alternatively, quit sucking at the things people like me are yelling at you for.
- Humptydank, on 10/21/2007, -0/+7Yeah, don't take it personal.
- Humptydank, on 10/21/2007, -0/+6Here, I brought some!!! No it's fine, take them!!!! They've been sitting around on my keyboard for a year and I never use them!!!! Seriously, they're all yours!!!!
- protogenxl, on 10/21/2007, -0/+64. When all else fails take out a Plasma Grenade and Stick Him.
- skunkman62, on 10/22/2007, -1/+7this tips interpret as: bend over and take it up the ass. oh and smile
- AceLy, on 10/23/2007, -0/+6It'd be fun to see tips on how to criticize people effectively.
- webcure, on 10/21/2007, -0/+5"Apart from the above three points, make sure that you always smile when you are being criticised. This will help you create a friendly debate and shows that you are confident in what you think."
Yea, good advice here!
dugg! - SwankRock3000, on 10/22/2007, -0/+5Is this article serious??
It's like "Many people take criticism personally, here's 3 tips on how to avoid that...
# 1. Don't take it personally."
Wow! Thanks! Problem solved. - ophello, on 10/21/2007, -1/+5I think you meant "advice"
Not a criticism, just a correction. - MurderMystery, on 10/22/2007, -0/+4Always take criticism personally. In response to any criticisms, insult the critic's mother. Bonus points if their mother is dead.
But seriously folks...Just never attempt to express yourself. Don't fix a problem if it can be avoided. - AceLy, on 10/21/2007, -0/+4Hmm, my roommate always threatens to do that to me. Is this a reference to something or is it something people do often?
- JonnyTrombone, on 10/22/2007, -0/+4I've always lived by what I heard from a professor: "If someone doesn't cry, it isn't a good critique."
- Subvexer, on 10/22/2007, -0/+4What do you mean handle it? I love criticism. I _love_ it.
*fantasises about criticism while rubbing nipples* - Rooster99, on 10/22/2007, -0/+3I handle all my criticism with a double barreled sawn-off. Haven't been getting a lot of criticism lately......
- Nocturnal, on 10/21/2007, -0/+3You're perfect at getting dugg the ***** down.
- Alex2, on 10/21/2007, -0/+3In my workplace, we have several jerks who criticize everything.
I think the 'Club them in the head with a baseball bat' is the best approach to abusive jerks. - inactive, on 10/21/2007, -0/+3I like to ***** in their mouths while they sleep
- Smight, on 10/21/2007, -2/+5I think a couple exclamation points sprinkled about would have made your post more effective.
- whatthefu, on 10/21/2007, -1/+4I hate when people ask for constructive criticism from me (when it comes to writing or something similar, generally) and take it personally. If I think one's on the wrong path with something, it doesn't mean I'm right and they're wrong. It's just to open them up to another perspective so they can see if they prefer to go about things in another light. But I admit, depending on the person, it's hard to take criticism, especially if one sees them as "inferior."
- pilot3033, on 10/21/2007, -0/+3Read the first tip.
The criticism may be valid, even if the criticizer isn't. - TGMD, on 10/21/2007, -0/+3Sodomy is a bit far
- banty19, on 10/21/2007, -0/+34. Take a tire iron, turn it sideways, and stick it straight up their candy ass!
- Nocturnal, on 10/23/2007, -0/+3Nobody is perfect. Please remember that.
- known, on 10/21/2007, -0/+3Quite simple.
Focus on WHAT and not on WHO. - Bahimiron, on 10/21/2007, -0/+3Where is 'punch them in the throat'?
Or are they saying my preferred method isn't a good one? - thcobbs, on 10/21/2007, -0/+2To best get over criticism, I live by five good words, "Suck it up, and learn."
- hunchback, on 10/22/2007, -0/+2What would make this method even better is to cover your ears with your palm while extending both middle fingers, and twist your body from side to side ... and perhaps throw in a "***** you" or two here and there, like this "*****...."
- TGMD, on 10/21/2007, -0/+2No, it is not.
Look it up: - mal1964, on 10/21/2007, -0/+2One fat joint and I'm cool.
- glitchbit, on 10/21/2007, -0/+2I feel I handle criticism fairly well. I respect the person who disagrees with me every now and then than someone who always backs me up. I also find it shows me or even forces me to try and further myself, however criticism from someone who is in the same field is always ideal since they tend to have suggestions that are the most on target.
At the same time I some times feel there is no good way to respond to certain people who criticize you. Those who are out to destroy you simply could careless about how you respond and if they can't get a fix on you they will just go right above your head to try and ruin you outside of anything you have control over, if they can.
Politics inside of a business can be a nasty thing... - Hour13, on 10/21/2007, -0/+2It's hard to take someone seriously when they suck at it themselves.
- inkswamp, on 10/21/2007, -0/+2Why? For seven years, I did web design and development work in a corporate setting and fielded criticism from all sorts of people who wouldn't know the first thing about the programming behind a web site or its design. A lot of the advice was just plain bad but occasionally a gem or two would filter through and being able to accept that criticism made me better at what I did. It behooves you to separate the criticism from the one doing the criticism.
- mattballinger, on 10/21/2007, -0/+2Seemed like a good idea for an article, but I was disappointed...They were all just common sense expounded upon.
- inkswamp, on 10/21/2007, -0/+2> I feel I handle criticism fairly well.
No you don't. - googeling, on 10/21/2007, -0/+2look somewhere else and say 'lalalalalalalalala....' and get louder by the minute and clasp you hand to your ears
- ophello, on 10/21/2007, -0/+2Here's a more thorough guide:
http://zenhabits.net/2007/09/how-to-accept-critici ... - Mike89, on 10/21/2007, -0/+2Yeah, same here. Despite the fact a couple of them do very little work, some days they're like "you're so slow and *****". Last time it happened I just stopped working and sat outside in the sun for 30 minutes (by now it was closing time). The guy realised he'd been a prick, ended up helping me (it's meant to be a two man job but most times I work I have to do it myself) and hasn't 'criticised' me since.
- ryanonfire, on 10/21/2007, -0/+2When all else fails a good STFU will help :)
- psyjoniz, on 10/21/2007, -0/+1good advice i already follow. it works.
oh - btw - "TRACE THE GREAT" is a ***** idiot. - AceLy, on 10/21/2007, -1/+2These are self-evident and most people know them already but don't follow them.
- arjie, on 10/21/2007, -0/+1Ha ha, I got the same. It's what happens when the criticism is from an authority figure, they think you're not giving it the importance it deserves.
- inkswamp, on 10/21/2007, -0/+1One of the most valuable things a person can do for himself is learn to take all forms of criticism well (constructive, smart-assed, badly worded, etc.) It's such a rare skill to be able to handle it, but it pays for itself many times over. There are a lot of things in life you never get better at unless you can handle criticism.
Weirdly, one of the best ways to learn how to handle it is by learning how to give it out. I think you learn a lot about how to handle all forms of criticism well by learning how to give criticism constructively. - kmesp86, on 10/21/2007, -0/+1I've been thinking about getting a new job because of people picking at me and criticizing me. I'll try these techniques out.
