Yes, people who think you lack talent are haters. What are you, 12? Haters? Really? Or are you just 1993 incarnate?
See, the problem when you say things like "block out the unhelpful stuff" is that most people see anything that doesn't fit with their views of the self as unhelpful. This sort of advice to people can be crippling. It leads to rubbish like Eragon and Terry Goodkind. These self-congratulatory assholes who have no real talent and are nothing but glorified fan-fiction writers. Just because criticism isn't worded in a pleasant, pat-you-on-the-back fashion doesn't make it untrue. Pay attention to all criticism. That's how you better yourself.
But by all means, listen to the sycophants and ignore people who say things you don't agree with. I'm sure you'll go far.

Well I mean this in the sense of a music Producer/DJ who happens to work at 2 clubs with residencies, which happens to be my line of work coincidentally (o shi-). I always have people come up to me and say good job and whatever, which really doesn't give much input on how i do (since most people are drunk when they say this). Few people who work DJ shifts at other clubs come by and tell me how i did technically, harmonically, and how i did my transitions and kept the party going, which would be constructive and the best kind of advice to offer. Now, then come these douchebags like, lets say Cedric Gervais (look him up) who is a pompous ass, dildo jamming, tasteless prick who talks down to you and thinks your sets are shit, which I might add are just intimidation. I have had people tell me that he is afraid of the next generation of people coming in and taking over his spot in Space (another club). Again, if you can't give me validation as to why i suck, It doesn't count.
Sorry if I implied the following mindset:
There's nowhere I can't reach.
