6 Tips to Handle Criticism

4.Answer firmly

If you feel that the negative feedback you are getting is not justified and you have no fault in the issues being discussed, then you ought to answer back in a firm manner. Don’t be rude, argumentative or sardonic but explain your stand in a clear manner.

5.Take it with a pinch of salt

The world will always get you down, but its your integrity and determination to move ahead which will help you eventually. You should realize that people are ever ready to become critics and hence things ought to be taken lightly, with a pinch of salt.

6.Put yourself in that person’s shoes

Probably the criticizer is telling you off for something which is genuinely hurting them, especially if its coming from near and dear ones. In such a situation try putting yourself in their position and think about how you would react if they behaved the same way with you as you did with them. Practice a little empathy.
