Why intense criticism is almost always a good thing

If you’re not being criticized, you’re probably not doing much or no one is paying attention to you. Avoiding criticism makes you irrelevant. Refusing criticism makes you ignorant.

Alternative views are important to understand, even if you ultimately ignore them. Criticism exposes you to how other people see, think, and feel. Criticism can provide helpful feedback to make adjustments and improve yourself just as it can reinforce your beliefs and commitment to your own way.‬
