It isn't just "criticism exists, deal with it". As I said, it is also the fact you react to it. If you just have to put up with it, well, it's a very passive way. And as I said, not everyone deals with it the same one. Some are more sensitive than others.
The case one states might not work for others. I'm pretty sure my way of "critics exist no matter what, but I won't give up, I'll just read it several times before I properly reply to them,and then go back to work, because I can do it, even better and harder" won't work for many others.
Many friends of mine have been my worst critics and have taught me more than I'd ever think. But, as I said, many artists, many ways. I was, of course, talking from my own experience.
Also, I apologize for just focusing on criticism, on actual criticism. Of course, there's also the simple opinion, the comment... And those which are more visceral, and sometimes harsh. True that. Not everything is nice and you have to find your way to deal with that as well.
I'm not saying "it exists and you have nothing to do", I'm saying "it exists, find a way to deal with it, I have mine and is this one". I'm not telling people to cross their arms, but to relax before dealing with the subject.
