I know from personal experience, it’s all in how the critque is offered. If it’s done in a constructive way, with lots of praise for all the good things put in too, then it’ll be heard.
If it stands on its own, it comes off as an attack. Just my 2 cents.
I never learned anything by ignoring critisicm. Usually the sooner a person recognizes a problem with their behavior, the easier it is to change. God tends to makes the hurdles higher if you keep ignoring them.
