Comments on: Be The Better Person in Handling Criticism http://www.dominica-weekly.com/tips-for-life/be-the-better-person-in-handling-criticism/ Ramblings From The Nature Paradise of Dominica Mon, 08 Sep 2008 00:01:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Diane Corriette http://www.dominica-weekly.com/tips-for-life/be-the-better-person-in-handling-criticism/#comment-11330 Diane Corriette Mon, 05 May 2008 17:04:12 +0000 http://www.dominica-weekly.com/?p=1421#comment-11330 When teaching young people I always told them to take a look and see if there is any truth in what was said. Sometimes when we are upset it can be because there is a small grain of truth in a comment. If however there is no truth in it then I encourage young people to recognise that the comments the person made say more about that person and what they think about themselves. People critcise to feel better about themselves even if they have to hurt another person. It is a classic case of low self esteem. Especially those who are hurtful online. How brave do you have to be to leave a "nasty" comment when you are sat protected by a computer screen. Behind rude comments is a weak person without any personal power.
