Coping with Criticism by Mary Ann Diorio, Ph.D. None of us likes to be criticized, but few, if any, of us will go through life without experiencing criticism. In fact, the more we stand up for something, the more we will be criticized. The source of the criticism is important in determining its validity, although valid criticism can also come from our enemies. Criticism that comes from someone who has our best interests at heart should be considered seriously because that person's motive is usually sincere.
