Context: In game, our cleric and bard are dating, and we are fighting a group of mercenaries (myself and the rest of the party don’t act here). Currently, it’s the Bard’s turn.
Cleric: hey babe, you should cast vicious mockery.
Bard: …
Bard: Ok. I got this. Hold on.
Bard: (in singsong) The only way you could ever get laid, is if you crawled up a chicken’s ass and wait
Everyone at the table: *loses their shit*
1. Don’t take criticism personally. Instead, realize that criticism says more about them than it does about you.
2. Distinguish between facts and subjectivity. Most criticisms are just personal opinions. They are not objective and they don’t reflect the truth.
3. Look at the beliefs you hold about yourself. Do you feel defensive and under attacked because you don’t believe in yourself?
4. Learn what you can from any comments that are made – and discard the rest as being useless information.
5. Decide not to ruminate on barbs or criticisms - as that will reinforce the message in your brain.
6. Choose to spend more time with people who’re affirming – and minimise the time you spend with those who put you down.
7. Look for a role model who can handle criticism – and try to copy them, so you become more thick skinned, too.
