Others have made great points. I'll offer a practical approach that worked for me. I found criticism was difficult because it came as a surprise. It seemed to me as if the person giving the critique was using criteria that I wasn't made aware. This felt unfair. The surprise, not the criticism itself was the struggle. my solution was two-fold: 1. Eliminate the surprise by "shopping" my work around early and often for feedback.
2. By doing step 1 I would learn the "hidden criteria" that others would use to judge my work. At this point I am rarely if ever bothered by criticism. Since I ask for feedback early when I don't feel "done" there is nothing at stake. Early criticism doesn't stick and just feels like we're working together on a solution. If you go up the mountain and work alone, for a long time, criticism will feel worse. I do the opposite. Might work for you. |
