Most critical People Are Not Critical With Malicious Intent.

Most critical people are not critical with malicious intent. This is just their way of life usually, because they judge themselves so harshly. However, there are those critical people who like to get a reaction and may intend to cause some negative feelings. In this case the best thing you can do is ignore them. The more you respond, the more likely they will continue to be negative – and so the cycle will continue. You can’t stop critical people from talking, but you have the power to shorten the conversation. Just chuckle at the experience, that is all that is necessary.
