Square Peg

I recently attended a webinvar where this question was asked of the presenter: "How do you acquire the skill to not let criticism bother you?" The presenter's answer was simple: Role play with a trusted colleague or friend, asking them to give you more criticism, until you reach a level of comfort with it.

Hmmm, by this example, I should be really really really comfortable with criticism. But, guess what? I'm not. I am not good at giving criticism either. Am I doomed?
