Topic: Newbies how do you feel when your post is criticised. - page 4. (Read 1197 times)

It's true if someone criticizes me then I'm definitely happy because criticizing me can definitely correct all the mistakes I made. Man is only fallible, a man is never perfect. There are many people who get upset if they are criticized but it is never right because every time people criticize one of your posts you will gain knowledge from that criticism and you can gain better experience.

Constructive criticism is fine - but you should fight back if you are truly being insulted. At the very least you should be the owner of a strong argument based on facts when you present your ideas - otherwise you will be drowned out by criticism. Not all users tolerate criticism - but constructive criticism is necessary for self-development and progress.

So find out the difference between criticism and insults - sometimes it's unclear and a bit difficult to digest. Don't take all criticism at face value - this means you need to be able to differentiate between criticism and insults.

General, criticism is normal. Any business person should see criticism as nothing. Being criticized never make you a failure. It should even strengthen you more as this will help you to adjust were needed.

I don't know why I need to state this but let me just add up to what you have already mentioned here and which is the reactions of newbies to criticism most especially in the area of correction and adjustment to set down roles and regulations that have to do with the manner at which post are made here in the forum, because not all comments can be said to be a constructive one and for that, we need to allocate the right mindset to the things we write and how we react to others who may not see the posts as appealing as it should be, and how that influence the reaction of others in the community that leads to criticism as pointed out by the ops.
My possible advice is to take all the criticism as a stepping stone to your success and also try not to get angry when being corrected because that is the only way to learn both here and outside the forum.

It’s certain that newbies are more emotional when they enter the forum, that when some people start criticizing their post, some will easily feel discouraged and some might consider that as a form of rejection. But to be honest, no one gets into higher position without being criticized when they were starting. Surely they receive a lot of criticisms as well that made them to improve their posting habit, until they learned how to make quality posts.

However, the only difference is that they never lost hope and give up easily. But become more motivated to learn and reach their current position. A correction is not made to put you down nor reject your post, but it’s one way of helping so you will learn from your mistakes and not to do it again.

The purpose of criticism thrown at us is to make ourselves much better. Not only in this forum but everywhere, criticism is basically something that makes us confused. Differentiate from insults. And I'm sure that the memes here will definitely give criticism. The outcome of the criticism itself will really depend on the acceptance of each individual. There are individuals who really have a positive mindset and are open minded so they can accept and digest criticism as input to improve their personal quality. In this case, criticism can be used as a consideration for us to try to be better.

However, there are individuals who are anti-criticism or feel stressed and afraid when they receive criticism. So when they find themselves being criticized, it is likely that they will react: become silent, stressed, indifferent, angry, hateful, or avoid it. And this is what we should avoid, especially when we are on this forum.

I quite agree with the OP on what to do when receiving criticism. However the criticism is expressed, sometimes it is in language that is easy to read and sometimes it is also in language that is quite annoying. But the point is to take lessons and good things from the criticism.

It is true. If we don't want to get criticism, we can't last a long time in this forum. There are varied people with different knowledge and experience backgrounds. There must be a chance to have different ideas or opinions. We can't expect that all the people to have the same way to view something, it is impossible. This forum is a place that is free to express opinions, people can make different ideas. So we must accept if there are people who disagree with our opinions or in the opposite of our ideas. 

Indeed. Don't take into heart about every criticism!
If we assume other people give constructive opinion, we can consider it to improve our knowledge.
Meanwhile if they give unclear criticism, we can ignore it!

I don’t see any reason why a newbie or anyone else would feel hurt whenever someone has a contrary opinion to their thoughts. It brings about healthy discussions amongst members.
Also, there are some threads started by newbies that are redundant and when other members share on the thread their opinions, the newbie feels bad and withdraws back into his shell.

Criticism may be harsh but it’s advice in its purest form and left for the recipient to pick relevant information from the lot. If one gets angry over criticisms, it would be difficult to learn.

If you share your opinion anywhere it's sure that people will be divided into 3 parts, your end, against you, and some neutral guys. So it's normal to come to some discussion & criticism. It's not only a forum but also in real life.

If you talk about this forum, most newbies who criticized due to their mistakes, for example, they just don't care where they are posting, what they are talking about, unmeaningful posts, etc, in one word due to spam. Because when they come first in the forum most of them just start posting without knowing the forum rules and just try to increase their post count.

Critism is not only felt inside this forum alone but also outside of it, have you ever brought up a discussion when interacting and someone attacks you base on his own view of things and then you decide to shut up forever (No). In here, critism helps in shaping you in terms of Bitcoin related, morally, politically and many more. The often time you see them critisize you just try as much to understand you are not in the right track and need to amend.

Criticism plays a crucial role in learning, helping us understand where we went wrong and guiding us towards improvement. Even though it might feel unpleasant, it's a normal part of the learning process. Nobody likes being criticized, but it's essential to embrace it as a tool for growth. Learning involves making mistakes, and it's important to recognize that perfection is unrealistic.

For beginners who often feel frustrated and discouraged, it's crucial to understand that making mistakes is a natural part of the learning journey. Rather than getting upset, it's more beneficial to see criticism as a valuable correction that enhances understanding. Without acknowledging mistakes, genuine learning becomes challenging.

Newbies who constantly face criticism may struggle to accept corrections if blame is attached. To foster a positive learning environment, it's advisable for beginners to adhere to forum rules and regulations, respecting the guidelines. newcomers should refrain from engaging in discussions about topics they are unfamiliar with, ensuring they only contribute when they possess adequate knowledge.

In essence, criticism should be viewed as a constructive aspect of learning, encouraging individuals to embrace their mistakes, learn from them, and continuously improve. Abiding by established rules and being mindful of one's knowledge level helps newcomers navigate the learning process effectively.

When I was still a newbie, I actually get hurt or offended easily every time my post was being criticized. But eventually, I understand that you will not grow if you stick to your own wrong idea, so you should be more open minded to receive new insights and ideas coming from those who have higher knowledge and experience than you. My point is, as long as it’s done in a nice and inoffensive way, then I will definitely take it as constructive criticism.

However, some may end up having rude comments on your first post, but I think that’s still acceptable as not all of us here are good enough correcting someone. But the fact that his aim is still to educate you, then I think I will still be willing to accept his correction.

This should be a way or manner to write a better post. We need to be adjusting to whatever we are doing that is not really appealing especially when we are making mistakes consecutively. We don't always need to be angered whenever our post is being criticized because this is only an opportunity for us to get back in our feet and do the right thing. We don't need to feel grudges against people because they corrected us to be a better write or acquire more skills in writing.

Positive criticism that will pressure you as a newbie to learn more are always welcome because these criticism helps. You will learn very fast if you have been criticize for posting something very wrong here in this forum because you will go for further research immediately just to make sure you confirm and correct the mistake you made, which is very good as it triggers fast learning.

Newbies or anyone seeking for knowledge have no right to be angry in my opinion because most of these critics are for your own good, it will help you learn what you did not plan for just because you want to get it right, and it will help you to understand that knowledge is power.

Op are you one of the newbies that get angry when you are been criticized? if you are one of those newbies then you aren't going to last here, the forum is not your personal business where you control everyone around you this place is made up of individuals with different types of knowledge, reasoning, and understanding so you don't expect everyone to agree with everything you say here irrespective of how true your information may appear. You don't need to feel bad when people criticize you here rather work with what they say and make proper use of it to improve in every area where you are been criticize and become better then watch how strong you will become tomorrow.

Anybody that wants to make progress must know how to take criticism, learn from it and become better, the experienced member that a newbie is learning from has already acquired their own knowledge, so for a beginner to learn from them, the learner must develop a thick skin to accept criticism. Some people might unreasonably criticize a newbie, and instead of him to be reactive and go into unnecessary arguments, the best is to ignore such attacks and move on. Although it can be frustrating for a newbie, after putting in efforts to construct a post according to his level of knowledge, after all the efforts, the post is criticized or told outrightly that it is a shitpost, because it lacks the forum's quality standard, it is still to accept it and improve on areas that needs to be improved on. Nothing good comes easy, so a learner must accept criticism.

We as humans must learn to accept constructive criticism if we want to improve in any area, this is very important to a beginner, and also you have to learn how to develop a thick skin so that you can absorb all negative criticism because the two goes hand in hand and will come as long as we continue to leave in a community such as this our forum, i know sometimes it feels so bad when you put time and efforts into constructing a post and before you know it some else just rubbish your efforts, i have seen that many times but then also i always stood my ground to defend whatever i believe is right regardless of what the other person may think and feel about it.


Many of those member doing that, are also victims of the same system whose mindset is wired to believe that, that is the normal way of things here in the forum, but let me tell you what i have noticed as one hidden positive thing about that is that, it has pushed me to study  more and always check my posts to avoid any mistakes.

They should never get ashamed once their post got criticized since those word given by people who disagree regarding on your opinion given can give you an idea on how to be more careful and accurate on your next post. We should never get drained for those things since criticism can help us grow as a individual.

As you a expert became a beginner first and they will never reach in that condition if they give up and let their feelings burst then let them down. If they don't want to get criticized by some people here they should make sure that they do a research regarding to the topic they want to post so that their point regarding on some issue is accurate so no people will question them regarding on what they are trying to say here.

A post can be criticized for many reasons and not just when someone is giving out wrong or misleading answers. As a scholar in have come to understand that some people are perfectionist and no matter how you present your writings or the information which is correct, they will find fault in your manner of presentation. They will criticise you for making use of some certain words, they will criticize you for not making your findings suit their standard, why you decided to write with small letters instead of capital letters. So we just have to understand that whatever they are saying we should have a quiet time to analyze whatever that was said and pick anything you find useful and helpful in the critics and leave whatever that's not benefial to you. Both negative and positive critics are need for positive growth in anywhere we find ourselves.

A post can only be criticized when you are not giving the right information or are misleading your audience. Which is not bad. If you are wise, then you should learn from criticism because it will help you grow as you humbly correct your mistakes and start doing the right thing.
