An Analysis of the Nature of Criticism

Or put more childish, it can be positive or negative. Although the feeling of guilt is neither treated lightly nor made fun of, the criticism is still not entirely equal. Some, with sincere advice, get us to become a better self as a human being and an artist, yet some advice is jealousy-driven, ignorance-driven, or a just-plain-up-political agenda-driven personal opinion.

The Pain of Criticism

We all seem, on some level, instinctively stung when we’re called on our weaknesses or errors. The brain is hardwired to perceive even critique as a threat, resulting in a fight-or-flight response being triggered. This reaction can lead to: 

✅ To feel inadequate
✅ To defend ourselves 
✅ To get angry or hold resentment 
✅ To lose our motivation 
✅ Self-doubt

The first way of processing criticism effectively is, by all means, to recognize these emotional responses, and when we are observant of our reactions, we can begin to regulate them.

Sometimes, it can be somewhat tricky to take in criticism properly, even when well-intentioned. Below are a few common hurdles to customer feedback and ideas for how to plow right through them.

Handle Harsh or Unfair Criticism

Some criticism is not constructive and some of it is even unfair. When you receive unpleasant or unfair feedback, you should first:
🔷Take a step back and do a sweeping, emotional cleansing of yourself.
🔷 Probe into the feedback for any kernel of truth.
🔷 By all means, demand a clarification in the form of a concrete situation or an example to help you absorb the feedback. 

Correct any worth, critical or revelatory, in a fair way.

If any criticism offends you and is truly unreasonable or abusive, it is wise that you draw a line and distance yourself from the discussion.

Overcoming Self-Doubt

Criticism sometimes triggers self-doubt in others or magnifies the self-criticism already running in their heads; to counter this: 

✅ Distract yourself.
✅ Practice self-compassion and positive self-talk.
✅ Lean on trusted friends, family, or mentors.
✅ Pursue progress instead of perfection.
