Criticism is an interesting beast. For some of us, it can be received, regardless of tone, and used to learn more about ourselves and work.

You try to shut the criticism out, but it’s pretty hard to do. You see people on the street, friends, people that you know are in your corner, and they come and tell you how bad they feel, and that’s not the kind of conversation you want. I don’t want anyone to feel bad for me.
If you have nothing to say for yourself then kindly keep your mouth shut!
