Re:Ask HN: How do you not take criticism of your work person... by poulsbohemian on Thursday May 25, 2023 @11:33AM (#36072069)
I got over it when I saw how often criticism was used as either a control mechanism or as a way to distract from the criticizers flaws or mistakes. I’ve found it sadly uncommon that someone comes from a place of earnest desire to offer meaningful feedback that doesn’t come with an agenda. So often criticism is subjectively stylistic rather than substantive, at which point it’s hard to take it as anything less than personal.
