Try to offer useful advice or a solution to a problem

[bitheerani42135]

Constructive criticism is of little use if you have not offered the person useful advice or a solution to the problem. In fact, constructive criticism without advice or a solution is no longer constructive but becomes just criticism.

It's easy to point out someone's flaws and point fingers at mistakes. It's easy to blame others for something they do or don't do that gets on your nerves. It's easy to tell people you're angry, unhappy, or hurt. It's not bangladesh whatsapp list to offer a solution, so if you don't have one, think about whether you want to give constructive criticism at all or if you're just in the mood to criticize and potentially start an argument.

How to receive constructive criticism

Suppress aggression and listen
People often fail to hear or receive useful advice because they perceive any attempt at constructive criticism as an attack on themselves, so they raise their armor, sharpen their thorns, and counterattack out of the blue. Try to refrain from doing so if the person giving you constructive criticism meets the points listed above.

Turn off your defense mechanisms and ego for a change and listen to what someone has to say. You might be surprised and get some good advice. Maybe not, but you never know until you try.

Find out why the person is giving you constructive criticism.
When someone criticizes you, try to figure out why they are doing it because criticizing, constructive or not, is usually not the most favorite task for anyone to tackle (if it happens to you, it's your problem, seek help).

People don't like to criticize others precisely because they're afraid of getting into an argument, being resentful, being misunderstood, or, rightly so, the criticized party will take the criticism badly and declare war. Nothing strange.

It's important to remember that if the criticism comes from someone who loves you or with whom you have a good relationship, it's most likely not intended as a personal attack against you, but rather a sincere desire to help or guide you.

Only people who really care about you have the will and patience to constructively criticize you without you feeling attacked and, along the way, to receive a hug and good advice or just a sense of support, which is often more important than any advice.

So listen to what the other side has to say and use the support because only happy people have someone who cares enough about them to constructively criticize them but also supports them in all decisions (that are not life-threatening or health-threatening, of course).

Ask questions
But be careful not to complicate the whole situation. Even in situations where you are given quality criticism by someone who admires you, it is a bad idea to nod and agree without question. You are not on trial, and even there you have the right to defend yourself and ask questions until proven guilty.

Be your own advocate and ask questions that will help clarify the situation, deepen the discussion, and resolve a potential problem more quickly, and perhaps even reach a solution, without too much discussion or philosophizing.

Show gratitude.
Since calmness in argumentation and communication is the main characteristic of constructive criticism, it stands to reason that you are not a savage and that you will not argue with a calm person who has your best interests in mind.

So, regardless of whether you agree with the criticism or not, thank the person for taking the time to try to help you and talk to you. Show through your behavior that you are not aggressive and that you encourage open communication, as it is the key to successful relationships, both personal and business.

In short, when receiving constructive criticism, the only rule that applies is this - take off your armor, listen, ask a question if you don't understand, learn something, and if you disagree, then laugh, nod your head, thank them, and move on.
