Then asking for suggestions or feedback is not for you.

You don't know that beforehand though don't you.

You should know your own personality at least. But I guess if you have the personality of someone who would react poorly to critique after asking for it, you wouldn't be aware of it 🤭

I’m one who cannot deal with critique well. Trying to improve. It’s a process.

But when I ask for it, I assume I’m grateful that someone took time and thought. Or I try to be. I hope…

Any piece of critique is like a gift. It pays to be polite and thank the person who gave it to you.

But you're in no way obligated to use a gift, and you don't have to act on any feedback or suggestions you get from others.

"Smile and say 'Thank You.'" on reception. What's more devastating to a gift giver is not to be berated during the giving, but to learn much later that you never kept the gift at all.
