If you take criticism too harshly, you might just be a more sensitive person. Among the different signs that indicate whether you are a highly sensitive person or not, taking criticism harshly is one of them. What this means is if “you may overreact to criticism initially,” that is not necessarily a bad thing for your life.
The thing about being emotionally sensitive is that “your strong feelings and intense emotional reactions can make criticism hard to take.” If you are the kind of person who is impacted heavily by criticism, that doesn’t have to be bad. Once you get past that initial shock, you can truly use that criticism to better yourself.
You see, if you just let criticism roll off your back you will never improve from what has been said. The high emotional state allows you to “think hard about things and explore them deeply.” This can help you understand yourself better and understand where the person who is criticizing you is coming from. “This exploration of criticism can play out well for you in the long run, as your inability to ‘shrug it off’ helps you make the appropriate changes.” Rather than just accepting who you are, you are constantly seeking to improve your life and your circumstances. You are constantly working to become the best possible you.
Learning to take the best from criticism can help you improve your own life and work ethic and personality traits because it can help you to make better decisions. When you can sit back and ask yourself why you thought someone said something about you, you can also sit back and ask yourself what you can do to better your own life and take a step forward to ensure that bothersome criticism isn’t justified in the future. Take advantage of your emotions. They’ll help you in the long run. If you simply go through life shrugging everything away – you will never learn to improve. Count your blessings, knowing that you are more sensitive because you are more insightful.
