Wow are there critics here! That's not fair and could discourage newly registered like me or give us wrong perspective of this forum, I hope there are no tolerance of voilence or abusive words here? Well the best approach to critics is to capture the sense in their statement and disregard the rest. Also, what are the consequences of going against the rules?
It's not criticism that is given but it's just input that directs you to pay attention to what you should do next.
By having input that you can draw conclusions from, it will actually help you become better. Actions start from thoughts. If your mind when judging every input as criticism that makes you cornered or discouraged, the resulting action is true you will be discouraged. Change it into motivation that will make you better.
If the op thinks he can survive without being criticized then he's not going to last here because he will keep getting discharged as a result of how he feels about the comments of other members, I have taken my time to go through the comments of most people here but I'm yet to see any word that looks like criticism that is used by any member here so I assume the op is imagining things.
I think it is better he takes every comment here as a blessing because the ideas and information that members gives out here for free on daily basis other people out their are paying high to get a little of it. I'm at every word you consider as harsh words motivate you to get better so that you will also teach the next generation to come what you have been thought.
