How do you react when someone close to you tells you that you have failed at something?

  • I thank him for the feedback and I am thinking about improving.
  • I defend my decisions and seek a way to prove the opposite.
  • I feel offended and I am trying to avoid further discussions on this topic.
  • I lighten the situation with humor to cover up uncomfortable feelings.
  • I will start to doubt myself and my abilities.
