https://www.pickthebrain.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/criticism_820751.jpg499352For many years of my life, I had this problem of taking what people say to me personally. It didn't matter if their intentions were good or not, for some reason my ego would take control my thoughts and I'd take offense to it. This negative thought pattern I had was on auto-pilot. I'd get offended even if what that person said to me was true. Which actually made it hurt even worse.
