I am sorry to think that you do not get a man's most effective criticism until you provoke him. Severe truth is expressed with some bitterness.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance or a stranger.
I don't take criticism lying down.
Criticism can be devastating. When push comes to shove, we are all very sensitive.
Few people have the wisdom to prefer the criticism that would do them good, to the praise that deceives them.
Criticism is part of the creative man's journey, and I appreciate it.
People react to criticism in different ways, and my way is definitely to come out fighting.
Some critics have been very harsh. That's okay. I like honest criticism.
Men are fair, and they have learned not to personalize anger - they can disagree with you and argue to the bone, but afterward they still consider you a nice person with whom the underlying human relationship need not be altered.
I've never had any problem with criticism. I've given a lot, and I've copped a lot. But I believe I've got a role to play by insisting that women be judged by their contribution - not somebody's view of what they should be about.
I never criticized one person in any way that I did not believe was true. How am I a mean guy if I'm telling the truth? Because nobody wants to hear the truth.
