Criticism i took right to my heart. Just a judgemental look would spear my heart. Now a T told me to totally bounce the look right back or comment right back. Another was to hold up a screen between you and the criticism and filter it so it was not so bad. these really worked for me. Another is if some one is being really critical give then some compassion send good thoughts to them even if they mean you harm, say to your self they cannot help the bad thoughts that they feel. It was the way I reacted to criticism but also some people are just really judgemental and critical. You just have to think well look at all of your flaws too you are not so perfect your self.Even feel sorry for some people having such narrow judgemental lives and not open minds.
