This is easily the one piece of advice I wish I could give to my younger self.
Criticism can’t always be ignored altogether, sometimes even though it’s difficult for us, we need to hear it and allow ourselves the opportunity to grow.
But blindly accepting criticism all over the board isn’t particularly helpful either. If someone is offering you a critique or judgement on something, ask if they are someone you’d seek advice from, do they live their life in a way that resembles how you want to live your life, if the answer is yes spend some time thinking about what was said and even if it’s difficult try and find the perspective you are to gain from this lesson.
If the answer is no, toss it. You can’t make everyone happy nor should you try to.
