Well... I will use an example of myself where I could show how I take it.
Recently I've been having a little rant/depression episode. So I talked about it to my girlfriend. And holy s**t was that a reality check. Most of my depression is caused by myself with hardly anyone affecting it. She gave me a good check of where I figured out what my problem will be. She told me that no one can help myself other than me. Which is true since it is an internal problem that causes these problems. And yes, I know what it is.
My Dad does the same thing all the time. He makes sure that I am on the right path, with my actions along with my future. He makes sure I have all my facts straight before I can do anything. It's basically the same thing as above, but more of a preventative measure instead of a realization.
My willingness to accept it... hmmm.... it definately depends. After what went on a few days ago, I would've told you that I readily accept criticism with the greatest of reactions. But after a few nights ago, I found out that I take to heart criticism. That even through criticism people will still like us, they're just trying to help us. I get pissed off though, because I know I always want to be right. But thats never the case. I guess sometimes we create our own truths because reality is too harsh for us (or me) to accept. I found it funny that I give criticism but I never listen to myself, because the same thing that I would say to other people, applied to myself. You just need the right person to turn it around and tell it to you.
I thank my girlfriend (Lead543) for doing that, it's helped me figure out alot of things.
