Or shall I say affect me so much.
Often times, criticisms of others are meant to do two different things
To hurt, a direct attack on the person we are, or provide some sort of guidance.
Logically, we must dismiss the hurtful criticisms
and look at the helpful criticisms with open eyes.
Does not doing so mean that we have a poor image of ourself?
Low self esteem?
That even the slightest negative statement makes us question ourselves?
And does the affect these criticisms have on us depend on our relationship with it's owner?
At the old age of twenty two, I feel confident in myself and, most of the time, my relationships.
Yet, I still find myself brought to a halt when hearing things about myself that I do not believe to be true.
Am I unable to accept the helpful suggestions of those close to me?
Or am I being attacked?
