Note, not Tone of Criticism
Sometimes a criticism contains useful suggestions. But often we respond to the tone of the criticism, and not the suggestions.
Try this: Firstly, note down the criticism, in your own words. This helps us to separate the tone from the criticism. Secondly, note down the suggestions that seem useful or applicable to who you are and what you do. Then decide how to respond to the critic.
