I like it, whenever someone is criticizing me or my work I take it as an opportunity to improve.

I always second guess and ask for more details, because the person might just be misunderstanding me and I don't want to act on a false negative feedback.

I also make sure to tell them that's like pair programming for life, that the person making the critic is helping me, that I like it and I also tell a funny story to make them comfortable.

I tell the person that when I was in the army I had big angry men with guns screaming insults at me, there's nothing they can say to me that I might take offense.

Give me feedback please.
