criticism

[allieaust]

are we more sensitive to criticism ?

 

[jamez]

most likely, yes.

 

[Moonlight_Magic]

Yes, most of the time.

Particularly unnecessary criticism.

Constructive criticism, thats not always too bad because it helps you to improve your work or whatever is being criticised. Constructive criticism usually includes mention of your/its good points as well as bad ones. Unnecessary criticism well thats usually all negative.

Unneacessary criticism just hurts. It has no useful purpose other than to put something or someone down.

And to critique myself, oneday i will learn to remember how to spell unnecessary. Im sure the spelling ive used doenst look right? Then again i have a bit of migraine coming on so my english isnt at its best at the moment. Or im being to pedantic again, its one of the two.

I know i am for sure.

Yes! That's a characteristic of a social phobic person; Being overly sensitive to criticism. Some criticism affects me more for example criticism which attacks me personally eg- weight, hair, etc.

 

[Sinspaw]

Yes we are, but hey look at the bright side - when we get praised we also feel a lot better because we're more sensitive.

Sort of. Some of us really respond terribly to criticism, but I found out something very odd about myself recently - criticism isn't the issue. It's the constant anticipation of criticism that gets me feeling so bad. When in reality, if somebody starts something with me, I usually have the strength and adrenaline to stick it through. In short, if you get me pissed enough, my shyness is rendered obsolete. Why? No idea!

I think it's just that constant flow of emotion. I'm the kind of person that needs to express it - and this could very well be true for any other shy or socially anxious person out there. I'm good at suppressing my feelings, however whenever I do I feel so dead inside. The more I let them flow outward - no matter if i'm happy, sad, excited, depressed, whatever - the better I feel overall, the more I connect to myself and the more I can connect with others.

i cant take criticism about the way i look very well at all even if it is constructive - ie posture etc,,

my friend always mentions my shoulders looking so tense and it looks like i am angry or something.. it can be good for someone to mention this but i wish i wouldnt worry about it all the time tho - cause i dont even know when i am doing it -

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me. Is that how it went. What rubbish. IMO verbal criticism can be much more painfull. Reflecting back on life, most people remember verbal criticism. A punch tends to be wordless. (apart from the obvious).

If i had the choice of getting beaten up o'r being verbally attacked i'd take getting beaten up...Atleast it would only hurt for a while.

Definitely more sensitive, i don't like criticism, especially people who criticise my work and like when i want to do something and everyone starts teling me it can't be done, that just makes me want to do it even more.
