This certainly sounds arrogant… it is not meant to be… it is simply that I value self-confidence more than I do the benefits of unwelcome criticism… and the two are not mutually compatible…
Life has a way of teaching us the great lessons that we need to know… it’s called the University of Hard Knocks… and that’s where we can find our best teachers and counselors…

That sounds about right. When you get unwelcomed criticism and it irks you a little bit, do you argue with the person and prove yourself, or do you just bite your lip? I always try to prove my point of my view. But I don't argue it, I don't think. I just usually think that if we are both open minded enough, we will be able to find some sort of agreeance if we communicate better. I don't let it bother me personally, but I have a hard letting it go, because I can't stand letting something I think is "wrong" to continue to exist. I want to clarify everything, whether it's myself, someone else, or something else.
