how can i overcome critcism?

I have the same problem as a writer.  I haven't totally gotten over it either, but here are a few suggestions:\n#1: If someone criticizes your work, remember that they're criticizing IT, not YOU.  Learning to distinguish yourself from what you do can really help.\n#2: If someone criticizes you, think about how much you really care about their opinion.  If they're just some random person, why do you care what they think?  If you care about them, but they're angry, they probably don't mean it.  \n#3: Take it in perspective.  Just because you can improve on something doesn't mean you're not a great person.\n#4: Tell the person how you feel.  Sometimes people don't mean to be as harsh as they are, or assume that you're not bothered.

Ignore them.  Instead, concentrate on yourself.  Emphasize your strengths and strive to improve where you have room for it.  Don't base your opinion of yourself on idiots flaunting themselves.

Get away from those who are hypercritical of you.   I know it is easier said than done, because most of the time, it involves the family you were born into, a significant other, or a job where there are hypercritical bosses or coworkers that you're totally dependent on for your livelihood.  But ultimately it is the only way you can get a half-way decent sense of self in the end.\n\nNo person or job is worth your self-worth.  Unfortunately, few people learn that when they should learn it, and consequently, are emotionally damaged for life.\n\nThe minute you surround yourself with people who are tolerant and accepting, you'll become more tolerant and accepting yourself.

List down the things you think you are good at.  Be proud of them.  List out things you cannot do.  Ask yourself whether you can live without doing these.  Ignore those you dont need to pursue. Pay attention and sharpen those skills that you wish you could develop.  Practice hard.  Dont rely on what others say.  Be good at your own work and have ample faith in yourself.  Whilst at this do not get self centred.  Look around and be sensitive to others needs.  Helping someone who is in real need will surely make you feel good - no great!  Go on - try to come out of your shell as the world outside is beautiful.  Good luck!

Be yourself. Think and become independent of mind. In particular, be your moral self. It's strength of character that makes you strong, so it's best to go to work on that. Your masculinity is already there, even if dormant, and will follow your character. You will be and act more "manly."

360 degree review and appraisal is the best\n\nPros:\nIt give s you an idea of where you stand in what your doing.\nFeed back from everyone  - your Team member, your Peer and your Boss.\n\nCons:\nAt times, negative critiscism from your Team member may end in Ego clash.

Take responsibility for yourself instead of relying on others. \nGet an alarm clock.

It sounds like you have a self fullfilling prophesy called fear of failure.  Try talking to a counselor or other professional for help.

you have to try as much as you can to maintain a self emotional balance, imagine yourself as a filter. and try to keep good things inside the filter, and remove impurties ( negative thoughts outside).\nI use a very effective way to deal with emotions. I try to focus and concentrate on something that will help me to become better like reading an article about people who faced so many bas things in their life and yet they became great.\nHelen keller was an examples for me to charge my emotions and go on.\nyou cannot make the world perfect, what could be perfect in your eyes might be imperfect in other people's opinion. always try to accept things and people the way they in order to avoid dissappointment. \nGood luck :)

Build up self confidence by always believing in your self. Laugh at your self when you know you have made some stupid mistakes. Act a little more slowly in carrying out any activity. People will definitely see a different you. They may even rate you a genius. Good luck.

Part of being assertive is being decisive and always having an opinion.\n\nYou can be assertive just by having confidence when you speak or by giving people proper eye contact when interacting with them.\n\nSpeak clearly and audibly, dont mumble. =)\n\nhope that helps.\n\nDont pay attention to that rubbish the religious hobo on the bottom wrote. Absolutely of his rocker that one -- dont become a religous zealot as a means to become assertive. People will think youre a clown.

Be who you are.  Learn to let it slide off you.  When someone insults you, either don't answer at all, or shrug like so what.  You don't have to make excuses for who you are, or feel bad about it.

This can be tough, but has a simple solution that is difficult for some to acomplish.  First, you have to force yourself to look at yourself OBJECTIVELY.  No internal reflection at all.  Try to see you for what and who you are....not what you think.\n\nI like the answer regarding responsibility, but it only answered one facet of self esteem.  The next thing you need to do is understand self esteem and what it is.  Self esteem is how you feel about you.  The fact that you are asking this question tells me that you care about yourself enough to try to improve.  That is abmirable and worthy of esteem.\n\nNext, try to identify what may be damaging your self esteem.  Is it really flaws in you, or just people you are surrounded by inventing them?  My experience is it is usually the latter.  Try to spend more time with people that make you feel good and less with the ones that don't.\n\nRemeber, the fact that you care enough to develop and improve, makes you worthy of esteem and respect.\n\nBe Well and I wish you the best.

listen to what others are saying..stop for a moment and think about it before you respond to what ever it is going on..\ntake your time and talk slow but be deliberate when you speak.\nspeak with the type of words you are comfortable using, ( constantly try to learn new words and their meanings and how to use them )\ndo your best NEVER to get into a yelling match with anyone...\nremember every one has their own opinion and they are really entitled to it..that does not mean you have to accept it..or even fight for your opinion..just listen..then ask or say may I please give you my opinion on this subject or I see it this way..and be calm and polite .( no arguments about opinions )\nlearn as much as you can in school and read all kinds of books when you are out of school\nyou WILL receive great respect from every one you come in contact with.\nand all of this will be great for you and your family..for now ans your future.\nGood Luck\nGod Bless
