I have three present perspectives on this:
1: I commit to making good use of the content of the feedback regardless of who gives it.
2: I believe everyone has the right to express their opinion, and that some opinions are more qualified than others. Such judging of the quality of others' feedback is, for me, different from assessing the content - the 'out of the mouths of babes' factor.
3: I always assess WHY specifically someone presents their feedback at 'that' time and place, in front of 'those' people, at that part in a sequence of discussion etc.
I used to be entirely UNcomfortable, and developed the above as a way out of feeling pinned in a butterfly presentation case. Positive or negative, others' comments pulled me away from my 'just getting on with work' sense of myself, even to the extent of my forgetting what or how I was doing. These days, I feel the distant memories of the old traumas snapping in the direction of my heels, and that motivates me to stay alert.
