How to handle criticism
We’ve all come across it one time or another: criticism. When it’s positive we can handle it fine, but when it’s negative we don’t always know how to deal with it.
When I got negative comments on my work a few times in a row I decided to do research about criticism, trolls, haters, hate comments and the likes.
I’ve formed my findings in the visual article below and hopefully it will bring some perspective to you too!
And if you find yourself wanting to leave a negative comment somewhere, please think of this: it doesn’t make you look any better.

Thanks for sharing and showing your story and your learning in that way
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing this.
I’ve been folowing you on Instagram. And kinda knew it already, but now I know for sure… you’re an amazing person! You’re honest and open and you really inspire other girls/women to accept themselves …including me😘
Thank you for your beautiful work.
Sending you lots of love!
(I am always in doubt wheather I should write a commend on a post or not…thinking, why should I? Will the message come across or do they think I am weird. But then I saw a youtube on spreading positivity on the internet and not holding back any positive commends, because positivity is what builds people. So, I hope to contribute in that way… building positive walls and give positive feedback when earned. Normally, I would just stay silenced…)
Thank you, thank you for give me your spirit. i have ever thought that people criticize us depends on our appears, on our abilities, on our intelligence and something like that. i have ever feel no one hear me because from in people eyes, i just nothing. but now i realize that i just need see positive opinion only to be happy and make criticize as my motivation to be better.
Never easy to not be injured sometimes even if you know that by some people like to criticize a every one and everything
Anyway good luck and good continuation
