None of us likes criticism, so let's call it feedback, and let's take it in a constructive manner. How we receive it can be the issue rather than the feedback itself.

Here are a few examples of how to guage whether we are the problem, not the feedback itself:

Increasingly fewer people offer you advice
Nobody challenges your decision
People whisper behind your back
You really want help but are not getting it
Your top friends seem to keep disappointing you
You don't listen
