Critique This!

As many of you know, I am not great at taking any type of criticism, constructive or not so much. I am trying to do better. A few deep breaths here and there. Lots and lots of prayer. But what always starts running through my head is "who died and made you an expert? And who are you to be critiquing me?" Ugh. I know. I need to do better, but goodness. I don't judge you (not on purpose anyway) and I know people mean well but sometimes it's just nerve racking; especially when you can tell they are doing it, not so much to help you, but to make you look stupid. You know, when people tell you something and then give you that "you are a dumb as*" look. When I hear them talking, all I can think is "I want to slap the sh*t out of you"...yowzer that sends my emotions through the roof. Breathe O...Breathe

*Now that I think about it, maybe I'm that way because I got teased a lot when I was little so now I feel like people are always critiquing me and trying to take a whack at me somehow...the only difference is when I was little I cared and got really sad...now, not so much... I just get angry...really angry
