Are there exceptions in terms of your first root reaction, or just in terms of your eventual net reaction? I work to consciously reward people for accurately criticizing me, and to consciously reduce the inaccurate negative feelings I form about those who criticize me. But there are major recent gaps in my performance here, and while I'm improving by increasing my awareness of the distortions I generate and of the "outside view" probabilities involved, I don't expect to soon remove the root response.

If anyone has good strategies for dealing well with criticism, I'm interested.
