It is unpleasant when criticized, especially in public. Everything begins to boil in my soul, I want to return all the negative to my opponent. However, restraining yourself and showing tact, you can not only not get involved in a conflict, but also look advantageous.
Praise is easy and pleasant to receive, however, not everyone can listen to constructive criticism. There are the following basic principles for accepting criticism:
Don't immediately respond with aggression
When you start to be "scourged", especially in public, then in your soul irritation boils, bordering on anger. However, if you respond to criticism with aggression, then from the conversation you can get a conflict that risks taking the most impartial forms. Therefore, think before you sharply respond to your opponent. Indeed, from the comments, you can single out a useful grain for yourself.
If you have objections, then express them to your opponent in a calm manner.
If you have an answer to each of the critic's comments, then do it calmly and in a polite manner. Even if the opponent is rude enough to you. In this case, you will even look advantageous.
Ask your opponent to do it in your place
This often works great if the criticism is not constructive. In most cases, people only know how to notice flaws and show their dissatisfaction. However, few people are capable not only of action, but even of giving good advice.
The ability to calmly accept criticism is greatly influenced by the type of personality and the characteristics of upbringing in the family.
