Facing Criticism - How to deal with it better?

Facing criticism is always hard, no matter if you are a strong and independent person or not. It's not anything wrong to want to hear what we love to hear. But in reality, it often happens. People will directly or indirectly let you know your shortcomings. When someone shares their dislike, blames us, or criticizes us it hurts our self-esteem.

To deal with criticism, one simple technique can help you get out of the aftereffect of it. And that is 'knowing yourself better and be strong in it.' You can say it, in other words, 'increasing self-esteem'.

In this ear of social media 'criticism' became normal. People don't think before saying something and they don't hold up. So we better have to learn how to deal with it, right?

We don't have to run away from criticism. We can also take it as a way to open our hearts towards everything. What you believe in and not depends on you. People can say, you are ugly but it's up to you whether you believe and act the same or not. Be strong on 'what you believe in'.

Notice how criticism affects your body and mind. Don't resist too much. Accept that people will criticize and you have to do what you believe in. Note your anger, mention, stress comes out from criticism, and manage them. There's no need to argue or justify yourself.

However, we can practice compassion and kindness towards our criticized. I know it hard. But you can practice saying, 'I forgive them' and gradually you will see a low flow of negative emotions towards them. Don't waste your time arguing, justifying yourself. Better take it passively and be strong on your way.
