Anyone not grateful for criticism is not a person worth knowing.
Notes:
Normal people find criticism invigorating – and curious. Perhaps you’ve been handed a key to future developments?
People who have no hopes for the future – i.e., constitutionally depressed people – take criticism as ‘beating’. Change doesn’t come organically to them – if they do change their behaviour to satisfy you, they feel ‘oppressed’.
Someone who isn’t improving is sure to be becoming worse.
