How do you learn to accept criticism from peers and other adults?

You can learn to accept the criticism from peers and other adults by taking it in a positive way.

For example, if they say "Oh! you are so poor in multi-tasking."

First, identify by yourself are you really poor in this?

Second, If yes, then start working on it. If no, then ignore it.

Don't feel helpless if you get feedback. Instead of that be grateful that you are receiving it. As it is the best way to improve and be the best in every field.

Note: Also, learn to ignore and don't take everything so seriously that you disturb your mental peace.

Good Luck!

Hi Amber,

Really great question!! Constructive criticism is not only part of college, but it is part of life and your future job. You won't always do things 100% correctly and you will likely make mistakes on things that people will catch. Nobody is perfect, and that is completely normal and okay. When you receive constructive criticism and/or feedback on something that you do, understand that it is not meant to be taken personally and that the other person is just there to help you. Use this feedback to improve yourself and the quality of your work. Think about it this way: when you get a B- on a paper and the teacher wrote down some suggestions for next time, do you take the paper throw it in the teacher's face and accuse them of being rude to you? No, of course not. You use what the teacher said for next time to ensure that you get an A instead of a B-. Use criticism as a learning opportunity to better yourself!!

I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck!!

Best,

Austin
