Be constructive about criticism. Cruel truth

From the outside it is always more visible, and a critical remark is much more useful than flattery. We do not want to hear criticism from parents, relatives, friends, second half, colleagues, acquaintances and unfamiliar people. We avoid criticism, take it with hostility, dismiss advice, do not listen to our mistakes and do not want to receive comments. We do not like criticism when the hard truth is extremely useful for ourselves.

"Learn to listen, understand and love the cruel truth about yourself." Konstantin Sergeevich Stanislavsky

We do not like criticism and are always hostile to it. No matter who or what says, we do not want to hear criticism, we are afraid of it and perceive it as an insult. Often, critics wish us good, not evil. On the Internet, they teach to brush aside criticism and opinions of others when this is not always correct.

• "Do not teach me how to live, but rather help me financially."
• "Don't talk about my mistakes, but tell me what to do specifically."
• "It's easy to criticize, but you tell me how to fix it."
• "Come on without criticism and censure, but just teach how to live on."

Or maybe I can give you another million dollars and fix everything for you yourself? People do not like criticism, but they want to somehow succeed in life. It doesn't work that way. If you always ignore the cruel truth about yourself, plug your ears, and shut your mouth to others, you will never get better. You will make obvious mistakes to others when you cannot see them yourself.
