In such instances, how do we deal with the criticisms that deeply hurt our self-esteem? 1. Find Healing For Our Wounds Hurts caused by criticisms may be opportunities for us to discover the wounds we have. This in turn may give us the chance to heal and to be more at peace with who we are. 2. See The Intention of The Person Criticizing Us If the person criticizing us is someone we love, let us try to look at their intentions for doing so. In truth, they may only want us to improve so we can have better lives and because they really care about us. If however, we find out that the people criticizing us have all the wrong intentions, such as really feeling envious and desire only to put us down, then we can learn to protect ourselves from them and not let their words affect our self worth. 3. Know That Nobody’s Perfect Even if the people who criticize us are credible, let us remember that nobody is really perfect. They could be wrong. Or they could also have the wrong intentions. If they are right however, let us use their criticisms constructively so we could grow and reach our full potential.
