How to deal with destructive criticism

We need to be vigilant whenever we receive criticism, especially destructive criticism, as it can be aimed at harming you.

Here are some important points to help us deal safely with destructive criticism:  

  • People who tend to criticize others a lot, in a way that can even be aggressive, do so because they feel empty or uncomfortable with the other person's success, so for them attacking is easier than supporting, they think they are superior and so they criticize others in a heavy-handed way.  
  • It's important to realize that many negative criticisms are made by insecure people who project their frustrations onto others and end up not looking at what's going on around them.  
  • On the other hand, we have to understand that destructive criticism, depending on how it is made and why it is made, can help us to look at the situation in a different way and help us to evolve, whether at work or in our relationships with friends and family.  
  • Analyze your positions and your actions and understand whether that negative criticism you received from someone, which was well-founded, can serve as an experience and a learning experience so that you can do things differently.  
  • If you receive criticism that can be destructive, in a rude and incorrect way, with offenses and without any foundation or contribution to your growth, don't feel guilty or discouraged, it is essential to know how to deal with emotional control and intelligence and never fight back.  

Be resilient and respectfully and calmly tell the critic that there is no room for productive dialog.  

Both constructive and destructive criticism are important in your process of evolution. The way in which they are given is what indicates the situation.  

It's always a good idea to extract some information from criticism that can contribute to your success.
