"I can't believe she said that about me!" Esther exclaimed, filled with anger and tears. "I don't want to collaborate with someone I can't trust, someone who pretends to be nice to my face but behaves completely differently behind my back.
"Esther's friend Nkechi attempted to reassure her, saying, "She didn’t mean it like that.
She critiques everyone; it's just her way of boosting her own self-esteem." Esther replied, "Maybe, but she certainly didn’t earn any points with me."
We all experience criticism at times, sometimes justified but often unjustified, which can lead to stress and strain in our relationships. When someone in your workplace or social group talks negatively about you or places blame, trying to portray you in a bad light or exaggerating minor issues, know that they usually aren't trying to help they're simply trying to bring you down.
Constructive criticism can be beneficial when it comes from someone who genuinely cares about your improvement. Unfortunately, most criticism lacks this positive intent; instead, it often carries a harsh edge. The harshest criticism typically feels unfair and is often not deserved. Such negativity is more indicative of the critic's character than of the person being criticized.
In my experience, unfair criticism frequently arises from jealousy and competitiveness. When you possess something someone else desires, instead of being happy for you, they allow their jealousy to surface. Rather than maintaining a positive outlook, they may express their insecurities through criticism or cynicism. The more successful you become, the more you'll face criticism.
If you receive a promotion, don't be surprised if detractors emerge with comments like, "He's not that skilled," or, "She's just playing favorites with the boss." Even your friends may react differently once you marry; they might say things like, "I can't believe he chose her he has no personality.
"Unfortunately, not everyone will cheer for your achievements, and some colleagues or friends may respond with envy rather than joy.
To effectively handle criticism, always remember not to take it personally. Often, the critique isn’t really about you, even if it's aimed at you. If the critic weren’t targeting you, they would likely be complaining about someone else. Their outburst reflects their own inner turmoil.
So, in my conclusion unless they confront this issue, it will prevent them from progressing further. A significant lesson I've learned is to celebrate the success of others. If a coworker gets the promotion you desired, it’s natural to feel a pang of jealousy and think, Why wasn’t that me? I work hard.
