Tips on how to turn deaf ear to criticism for peaceful life

Handling criticism deftly is a skill that few possess and many try to incorporate into their personality. It requires a strong-minded and mature individual to handle criticism in such a manner that it positively impacts the person’s overall development. We all face criticism from cradle to crematorium. This makes it quintessential for us to learn how to properly face and respond to criticism.

When someone criticizes you, these are the several ways you might respond: be angry, start crying helplessly, start counter-criticizing the person who criticized you, become demotivated to proceed with the task at hand further, or take it as positive feedback and try to improve on it, promising that you won’t repeat the mistake. The last option is the ideal one, which would be expected at your workplace and your home especially. The solution is simple-  don’t react like fluorine. Take a deep breath and think of the reason why you were criticized and try to improve yourself. You need to understand that if there were no real reasons for being criticized, you are being trolled. Ensure that you try to avoid people of this kind. If your higher-ups at the workplace are trolling you, then you need to resign and join a new organization because trust me trolling can take a toll on your mental health. This is from my personal experience.

People criticize you for two reasons: they want you to improve or they want to demoralize you. Understanding the standpoint from which you are being criticized is essential. If someone wants to see an improved version of you, then engage in dialogue with her/him and take the feedback positively because this is what they want. If you dislike their tone, you can clarify that and I am sure that they will change their way of speaking to you since they are your well-wishers. The other group of people who want to demotivate you are the ones who you need to turn a deaf ear to. It might be bullies at school and college, your mother-in-law (if you are a woman), trolls on social media, or your boss at work,……………. This list doesn’t end. Just ignore them and complain to higher authorities if possible.

Summing up, convert criticism into positive feedback in your head, and then there is no one stopping you from succeeding and reaching new heights. Don’t react aggressively. We aren’t halogens or alkali metals. Try to be like a noble gas, as cool as a cucumber.
