Criticism is hard to digest.
Especially, when you’re trying hard to do something unique.
Unpopular Opinion: That’s the reason, I’d suggest ignoring the critiques many a times is the best way.
Now some wokes & politically correct people will jump in & scream, “But criticism is productive”, “Criticism is helpful in improving”, etc, etc. Okay. Understood. Now keep quiet.
Many a times turning deaf ears to critiques is useful. You may perform badly. And that’s okay. Rather then getting discouraged & just close your shop & go away.
Learn when to listen & when to turn on the deaf ears.
