In what ways can individuals effectively navigate the delicate balance between being open to constructive negative feedback for personal growth and maintaining a sense of self-worth in the face of unhelpful criticism?

Individuals can effectively navigate the balance between being open to constructive negative feedback and maintaining self-worth by first recognizing that feedback is an opportunity for growth rather than a personal attack. They can focus on specific actions or behaviors that can be improved upon rather than taking criticism personally. It is important to seek feedback from trusted sources and filter out unhelpful criticism that does not align with personal values or goals. Additionally, practicing self-compassion and reminding oneself of their strengths and accomplishments can help maintain a sense of self-worth in the face of criticism.
