Is being unwilling to accept criticism

Immature? To you guys? Not to me there are no laws saying you have to accept any forms of it.
 
I think so. It might be one form of tolerance. Imagine if you had no tolerance for anything that didn't fit you're standards of what a person should behave like? It would be a lonely, hateful, scary world.
 
I get it all the time and honestly,I don't care what people think of me. They can keep it to themselves for all I care.
 
Hmm... well look, I'm not judging you, just sharing my thoughts. I think it is very important for us as human beings, to grow and learn from others as much as we can while we can. While we are alive that is. A lot of times it is by being around others, that we learn more about ourselves. If you've been a certain way your whole life so far, no doubt it is hard to change and that is understandable.

I think when we realize that we've done wrong and been wrong and we know we should change and we don't, i think that is pride and ego getting in the way. That's not good. Nothing good comes of it, ever. Just breathe, learn, accept things and change them for the better.
 
This person I was talking to an hour ago,was demanding for this other user to accept criticism..which I told her to stop.
 
I personally believe that it depends on where the criticism comes from as, sometimes, it comes from a source that is being antagonistically critical for whatever reason. (ie; a person who doesn't like you, or someone who's angry at you at the moment, etc.) I mean you should try to be mature about receiving criticism but as far as accepting it, that's up to you.
 
Is being unwilling to accept criticism immature...

They are either immature or just being trolls, because no right minded normal person would be so bull headed to something that is in general, a tool that serves for the betterment in general...

If there was no criticism in the world, nobody would have stopped the death camps of Nazi Germany..nobody would have told the caveman building the square wheel to try making it circular...

we do however, live in the age of the Trolls, and they use criticism as a disguise to get a reaction...so it doesn't surprise me to know that a lot of young people today can't tell the difference.

Criticism should never be viewed as nothing more or nothing less than a fellow human being tapping you on the shoulder and making you aware of one or two things that aren't sitting right.

Now, as for the way criticism is delivered.... well, that's an entirely different matter. But i think it's just a sign of the times we live in...

Criticism which used to be an art form and an aid to the development of mankind and society, has been reduced to a ( like & dislike ) on social media networks....

All in all, at the end of the day, if someone is going to be touchy about other peoples opinions then perhaps some should think a little longer before opening their traps.
 
If it's constructive criticism then yes, not accepting it is immature. You don't have to like it or change anything if you don't want to, but sometimes you just have to say: "Okay, thanks" and move on; even if you disagree.
 
I think having a willingness to accept criticism, considering the criticism itself is reasonable and expressed with the best of intentions, shows a very clear desire to grow, to learn and to improve yourself or your skills and abilities. I don't see how you can better yourself or grow in anyway if all you want is for people to pat you on the head and tell you how good you are all the time. *shrugs*
 
I was always told. If it's hurtful ignore it,the criticism I saw wasn't reasonable it was rude,and full of insults towards somebody's writing skills.
 
I've got plenty to say on this subject, but MOST of it was coverd by VP. Just remember that EVERYONE has their own opinion, both you and the person oposing you. So respect the views of others...Even if you're not gonna change.

Exactly what I told person A bothering person B with the so called bad writing skills..as Person A has said.
 
I think considering criticism is fabulous because having to decide to follow that criticism or not encourages critical thought, and that will certainly make one a better person. However, considering criticism and following it are two different things, and at the end of the day, you have to decide what's good for you. So, if someone doesn't like that you have control of your life, whoops? But remember, sometimes others have good opinions, too. :)
 
I think criticism is on;y good when someone asks or is open to listening to it. If someone doesn't want to hear it,and you keep pushing what you think, you will only really,really,REALLY **** off the other person. Just leave it. While what you think may be better, what use is it if the other won't apply it?
