How do you handle critics?

Don't listen to sycophants like Adara, who want to tell you it's okay to ignore some of it, cause you're great, and you just need to, you know, realise how great you are. They'll cripple you. Surround yourself with people who rip you apart. That's how you become great.

I agree and disagree with you. I believe that you need a certain amount of people that will criticize your every move, whether constructive or not. Because if you do that, you will begin to realize the things that are needed to improve yourself. Those kinds of people will never probably agree with you and may always argue, but if you continue to improve yourself and become a better person at who you are and what you do, other people will notice it. Over time, you will get the support of other people that may have once criticized you but saw your improvements and now see the positive changes.

In the end, you need a healthy balance of supporters, on the fence people, and people who will always criticize you. In this way, you will be able to see the good things you have done, the people who have changed their view of you, and still continue to see and hear the things you need to improve on. In this way, you will always evolve into something better than before.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
