Why Do People Criticize? 7 Facts You Need to Know About Criticism

Why Do People Criticize? 7 Facts You Need to Know About Criticism

January 5, 2021 By Cade Hildreth Leave a Comment

Why do people criticize? It’s an age-old question, one that has been around as long as humans ourselves.

As someone who is LGBTQ and nonbinary, it can be particularly disheartening when when something negative is posted about queer or gender nonconforming people, either on social media or in the mainstream media.

7 Facts to Know About Criticism

If you experience this, then it can be empowering to remember these 7 facts about criticism.

1. Criticism Reflects Them, Not You

Remember, criticism is a reflection of who they are, not who you are. It is created by them, by their mind, their emotions, and their limiting beliefs.

Just because they “sent” you criticism, doesn’t mean you need to accept “delivery”.

2. Criticism is a Sign of Fear

People who are hurtful are always fearful. People who are at peace with themselves are kind.

As described by shame expert Brené Brown, criticism is a coping mechanism used by people who feel unworthy. It’s purpose is to shift the spotlight off of oneself and onto someone or something else in an effort to feel safe. 

3. Criticism is a Sign of a Weak Self

Only people with a weak sense of self are intimidated by others who are different than them.

If they had a strong sense of self, the way you live your life wouldn’t affect their consciousness.

4. Criticism is a Function of the “Monkey Mind”

Humans are mammals, just like our evolutionary cousins, the apes. The difference between us and them? We have a mind that can tell stories and create all sort of wild, fear-inducing future projections.

So, why do people criticize? They criticize because the mind is a dramatic “soap opera” script writer.

It presents us with a range of crazy stories, most of which never come true.

5. Criticism Results from Different Interpretations

There at 7.8 billion people on this earth, which means there are 7.8 billion different interpretations of reality.

It is important to honor the truth of your experience. It is also inclusive (and kind) to allow their reality to co-exist.

6. Criticism is a Sign of Success

If you’re not getting criticism, you’re not doing enough. Criticism should be your goal, because it’s an indicator that you’re commanding their attention and dominating their thoughts.

Go get yourself some more of it!

Reasons people criticize

7. Michael Jordan Doesn’t Leave Instagram comments

And finally, Michael Jordan doesn’t leave Instagram comments. He doesn’t leave Facebook or YouTube comments either.

Meaning, you’re never going to get criticism from someone doing MORE than you. You’ll only get hate from someone doing LESS than you.

Let that one sink in.

Which of these tips resonates the most? Let me know in comments below.

⚠️ UPDATE: Arkansas' Republican governor on Mo ⚠️ UPDATE: Arkansas' Republican governor on Monday vetoed an anti-transgender health care bill that would've prohibited physicians in the state from providing gender-affirming "procedures" for trans people under age 18.Gov. Asa Hutchinson told reporters that he killed HB 1570 because the bill "would be and is a vast government overreach" and because it would've created "new standards of legislative interference with physicians and parents as they deal with some of the most complex and sensitive matters involving young people."Had the governor approved it, Arkansas would've been the first state in the nation to outlaw gender-affirming health care for trans youth, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.The governor also predicted during his remarks that the state's Republican-controlled General Assembly "will likely override" his veto, noting it takes only a simple majority to do so.Leave a “👏🏽” to show support for Governor Hutchinson or share your thoughts below. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️Source: CNN

✅ #WorkoutTip: If you’re looking to get a more ✅ #WorkoutTip: If you’re looking to get a more developed and defined chest, a quick bar change from traditional barbell to Swiss Bar can help you hit new muscle fibers and supercharge your gains! 🔥💪🏽Why is this? 🤔1) As you can see, it switches your grip from horizontal (your grip on a straight barbell) to parallel. This rotates your entire arm, including the position of your elbow, shoulder, and all of the attached muscle groups.2) It lets you choose from a wide variety of widths. In this example, I choose the second from the middle grip, but you can work from extremely narrow to really wide.3) The balance/loading of the Swiss Bar feels extremely different than a straight barbell, so your accessory muscles get recruited to work extra hard throughout the path of the lift.Of course, if you add a pause at the bottom of the lift as the Swiss bar touches your chest, it can also increase the difficulty of the lift and introduce a new stimulus.Have you tried a Swiss Bar before? Let me know below... 👇🏽

Looking to add lean muscle mass while dropping bod Looking to add lean muscle mass while dropping body fat? 💪🏽🔥If so, you’re simply not going to beat the BIG compound lifts like the deadlift. 🔥🔥But, since the traditional deadlift puts a fair amount of strain on your lower and middle back, what should you do if you’re training multiple times per week? 🤔The answer? 👀1. Mix Up the Stimulus — The Hex Deadlift shown here is one of my favorite options, because it allows a more upright torso. This both lets you lift more weight and displaces some of the load across your hips and lower body.However, if you can’t access a Hex Deadlift bar at your gym, then you can use a normal barbell to do a...... Sumo Deadlift (wider stance)
... Deficit Deadlift (deeper range of motion)
... Or other variation of your choosing2. Vary Your Rep Range - In this video, I demo a higher rep range of 20 reps. In general, higher reps are associated with greater hypertrophy (muscle size growth).Higher reps will humble you because you’ll have to use less weight, but the muscle gains you experience will make it worth it!3. Amp Up Recovery - The two most powerful recovery tools you have at your disposal are food and sleep. So, how to best use them to your advantage?Consume whey protein and rapidly digestible carbs immediately post workout—and if you went heavy in your workout, then add a casein protein shake before bed too.Then, eat a full meal within approximately an hour of finishing your workout. Focus on consuming protein and carbs, while going lighter on fat.For sleep, nighttime is your anabolic period (i.e., when natural muscle recovery and growth occurs).So, get to bed either at or before your usual bedtime, keep the room ultra dark, and keep it cold enough that you need to be under the covers or you’ll end up shivering.I wear an @ouraring sleep ring and can confirm from personal experience that timing, temp, and darkness all have a huge effect on your sleep quality!Which tip are you going to try first?

To all my trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive s To all my trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive siblings:💙 You are valid.
🤍 You are worthy.
💗 You are loved.Thank you for becoming who you were born to be, because you inspires others to be their true selves too.Always remember: Courage is contagious.Happy #TransDayOfVisibility—
From @qchristianorg:Being visible is important for the movement. For the individual, being visible can mean being one of the 20% of trans people who experience homelessness or the 25% who have been fired because of their gender identity.It could make you one of the 44 trans people who were killed last year for being trans.Being visible means risking rejection and abandonment, facing erasure in the name of religious freedom, being ridiculed, mocked, bullied and misgendered intentionally.It can mean being one of the 41% who, because of all this, attempt to end their lives.
