So true.

Not true! Those who criticize you are often the ones who want everything to be their way; people who are so spoiled that they think that everything has to be as they want it to. I know this because people who criticize me - or rather "can't stop bitching" - are the ones who don't give a crap about who I am or what I do, and only care about what they want.

Just my 2 cents.

I love the shading on this one especially.

Bitching and criticzing are two entirely different things. Criticzising is pointing out things that could be done better, usually for the benefit of both sides, bitching is just pointless complaining.

Then I guess there aren't any people around me who are able to criticize. Well, this would explain much.

Let us take my sister as an example XD

All I know is that long as criticizing others in a good way motivates them well.

It depends a lot on the person who is recieving.

There are a lot of people yet to learn that criticzing isn't a bad thing in general. Plenty kids or even adults thesedays think that the people who criticze them are 'bullies', or that the constructive critizm they recieve is just 'hate commentary'. This is actually the reason why I wanted to share the message.

I know it's real talk.

And those who do it unconstructively are haters.

Dont forget those people who don't know how to make their comments look constructive. xP

Funny, seeing this is how I lost plenty of friends. Didn't matter how nice or constructive I told them either.

beautiful, and I totally agree with all the comments below. I love the message of this and the coloring job, gorgeous <3

I say criticizing is good in moderation, as long as people don't point out every little detail.

For instance, her orange eye seems to be tilted a bit odd. Is that how she's supposed to be?

idk, I just like how it looked right there.

Ah. Whatever suits your fancy ^^

True. But sometimes, they could just be jackasses, as well. Great drawing, Maya! :D

It seems that finally someone understands. <3

Criticism should show areas you should improve, but never make you hate your work.

And that depends almost entirely on how the reciever of the criticism takes it.

True, in my experience it comes easier from a friend than a stranger, though I can see why it could hurt more from a a friend at the same time.

Love the colors and lights o_o! and amazing true phrase

you are your own worst critic this also means you really care for yourself =D and this is good =3

"if you care enough to criticize you should care enough to be proven wrong in your criticism and still be willing to admit it"

...Or just are bullies and like at my workplace, will at one point try and corner you and kill you in a 4v1 struggle for life and death.
