My reaction 2 criticism will depend on : how its passed on 40%, by who 20%, motive 20% , my mood 20%.
cos i ve found dat some people mostly women criticize when u dont conform to their personal beliefs or ideas. in dat case i just smile n delete it from memory
from my family n better half i listen n try 2 work on it
from boss i listen n work on it wit appraisal in mind.
from friends i listen n ignor

but my advice 2 any1 lookin 2 critisize me is package it properly n gag my mood. n make sure u ve removed d IROKO from your eye be4 u try 2 remove d PECK of wood from my eye.

Yes i didn't because it turned to a big problem. I told them am not interested. till date they are still perching around me and I do everything possible to avoid them.

I understand it can be very frustrating but hell if I love the man and he loves me too and don't really give a shit about what people say them I'ma stick around. People will always say shit but seriously our shell gotta be very thick.

I only accept CONSTRUCTIVE criticism from people who actually know me and are ACTIVE in my life . . sometimes it may hurt . . . but there is usually truth in what's been said more often than not when more than one person is saying the same thing . . . what I have a problem with are those who like to 'judge' . . . . on what exactly? ? ? MY NL posts. . . . .the stories I have to tell ? ?  Or what you supposedly heard? 'preconceptions' are a big 'misconception' in itself.  Kiss

Don't hate . . . appreciate. . .lol  Grin

We seem to be quite similar lol.

CRITICISM makes the world an interesting place!! You can either accept it or ignore it. It is what makes us all re think and reflect to improve our world and life.

Vatart  Shocked Shocked  Huh

@op
How I would react depends on the following factors

What
Who
When
Where

and my responses could be one or most of the options you have in the polls.  The only thing I will not resort to is being abusive, that isnt me.  I wouldnt retaliate either (though not sure ow one will retaliate to a criticism)

Getting defensive i believe is just human nature, as they say 'the truth is always bitter' especially wen it is about you.  I sometimes get defensive, but when im calmer I do take what is said on board and trying to better myself @ it.

Then again where or when the criticism is being delivered can either get the I dont give a T O S S attitude or yes I know that is wrong and I am willing to learn and change to make it betta

Majorly a positive attitude to a criticism will depend on who is delivering and the kinda mood the receiver is.

A pot calling the kettle black will always get the IDGAT attitude  Undecided

I don't welcome criticism, especially when it's done in a way to paint or destroy  my image.

I go extra miles to defend myself. I don't find it funny wether parents, friends or whosoever that did it.

To be presiced, I hate criticising people myself and wouldn't want to be criticised.

My slogan is mind your business. Somebody that won't  confront me and think the best way is criticism
is my enemy.

yes, it happens only when the love you give is given back to you. I did not know that all these while he was pretending (thats the way I see it). why should he listen to citique especially when it has to do with somebody you love. Something he could not find out for almost 2 years. When the whole truth came out, every body blamed him but then it was too late.

Accept If Valid & Take It On Board (If what Im doing is puely wrong  and to know whether if I am wrong or right, I would do a survey first. The majority votes is the clear answer to determine whether if I am right or wrong)
Question The Reason & Evolve (If sumone complaints about me or criticize me, I would question the person if I dont know why he / she criticizes me. For sure. Smiley)

Deliberate critism - I ignore that person as if they never exist

The positive critism, I use it for improvement but if you don't know what the f**k you are talking about, I get really pissed and maybe, just maybe I will $#&*#^&  Grin Grin

P.S (on a different note)

Thanks for the advice

manner of approach matters, cos action brings about reaction. human being is still weak in nature. there is nobody without the instinct of reaction in one way or the other in him or her. so i sugest thst presentation should matter but in case the presenter fails to present well, self-control should be employed.
