Are you very sensitive to praise and criticsism?

Does it affect you when someone corrects you, or tells you something good about yourself?

To what degree? Does it matter who is saying it?

 

It affects mine too much. I've gotten better at getting my self-concept intrensictly though

 

I take it to heart, but I don't let it run my life.

 

i feel good when praised.

 

i enjoy insulting hippies. especially dumb ones. marginalize. beer.

 

Oh my goodness yes, does it ever. Especially criticism. I don't take it well at all. But I realize why this is, it stems from my childhood.

 

Why Do you Ask so many Questions?

 

depends - in the business world you need to be able to take praise and criticism on the understanding that it it constructive

But you get people who say stuff just forthe sake of saying stuff. Thats annoying.

 

Depends on the situation, the person delivering said criticism and their agenda...

My current chapter of life has me carefully rationing emotional energy lest I hand over an excess amount of influence over my sense of well being. Often criticism is merely intended as a tool to get under one's skin. In this case the best response is none at all... especially internal responses.

 

same here. I am horrible in the sense that I can't spend time with people who don't praise me because I feel like crap about myself afterwards. Also, I assume everyone else is like me so I compliment people like crazy, sometimes to my detriment.

 

Why does anyone ask a question?
