I hear you... I hate being criticized too! I had it all my life growing up. My mother criticized me a lot. Never was good enough in her eyes. Even as an adult it continued. I've been estranged from her since last winter. Still affects me though... I suffer from low self esteem. When I look in the mirror, I see someone who will never measure up and be good enough.

I'm working on overcoming these feelings. All a work in progress. Once self esteem is healthy, I know criticism won't bother me so much.
