I find it hard not to take criticism personally. I think I’d be more effective in lots of ways if I didn’t.

I find it's much easier to not take criticism personally when you reflect that people who criticise you are highly unlikely to actually be criticising *you*.https://twitter.com/G_S_Bhogal/status/1046915887826112512 …

Gurindoor @G_S_BhogalAn online stranger couldn’t possibly grasp your complexities; all they have are a few vague impressions of you, too meagre to form anything but a phantasm. So when they attack "you", they are really just attacking their own imagination, and there is no need to take it personally.1 reply 1 retweet 10 likes -

Are you aware of research that suggests the trait that leads to the taking things personally by Homo sapiens is genetic? This is a constant point of contention with my wife because I take very little personally & recover quickly from insult? I've come to presume this won't change

Growth is a thing, and both genotypes and phenotypes are heavily influenced by environment. I used to be sensitive to insults. Now I'm not.
