Has anyone ever said that you think too much or you are too uptight?
These are only two of the many criticisms people get about themselves. However, what if what everyone else has been seeing as a weakness is one of your greatest strengths? Therefore, listening to others denounce you for something they do not have will only harm the true image of who you are.
The way to deal with negative criticism against you is to find the positive in those character traits and except who you are. Once you except what other people see as a flaw in you, you can use it as a strength. And not only will you fall in love with yourself even more, you will find true friends and/or spouses that are attracted to and enjoy the traits about you that other people criticize.
For example, if you can relate to being told you think too much, a way to maximize that character trait as a strength is to share your thoughts on platforms where people would love to think and understand positions at a deeper point of view like yours. There are also plenty of group discussions and chats that you could be apart of that put your thinking skills to good use. And the best part is that you can get payed for almost anything!
Therefore, do not let your peers’ criticisms on your character trait/traits embarrass you or make you insecure about yourself. Whatever your attributes may be, find the positive in all of them and expand on your true strengths.
