Accept that you're not perfect (none of us are). If you think that what somebody else says is something that's worth changing about yourself, then go for it. Also, accept that you may come off differently than you think you really do (e.g., you may think you're friendly and nice, but if you're shy than those traits may not come through and others could perceive you as cold and unsociable). In the end though, remember that the only person for whom you should change is yourself.

Take a good, long, hard look at yourself. Perhaps you can confide in some close friends. If the criticism is true, see if you can make changes in yourself without becoming defensive. If it's false, don't lose any sleep over it. The other person may be jealous or misinformed.

After the nasty "sting" goes away -- biting comments have that affect :-( -- distance yourself from what was said about you, and act as if the criticism wasn't directed toward you personally. Then process the information and use it constructively.
We are born with our character. We can only modify those points that we don't like, but we can't change them or get rid of them. I am a hot head, I know this. So I watch my temperature, if you know what I mean, and try not to get so mad about things.

I love it when people criticize me, it fuels my fire. One thing you must remember is that unless the criticism is legitimate, its usually a bunch of bullshit someone is using to knock you down. People talk **** most of the time because they are jealous, intrigued, or fascinated by you. If someone is criticizing you it’s probably because you have something they wish they could have or be a part of. Everyone wants to be on top, and the easiest way to get there is by bringing down those who are already there. So unless its legit (in which case you should respect and listen to their advice), take it as a compliment when people criticize you.

Stop and think. Are they saying things just to be spiteful or do their comments have some merit? Then ask your self is this a problem are or just an are where we disagree. If you discover that you really do have a fault, then ask yourself if it is something you are ready to change. If it is, set about making yourself a better person.

The best way is to try not to get upset and look at the criticisim in a positive way rather than negatively.

Simply just by trying to improve upon it, converting it to your advantage.
