How can I handle criticism in my activism efforts?

Dealing with criticism can be challenging. It's important to remember that criticism often comes from a place of concern or misunderstanding. How do you usually respond to criticism?

I tend to get defensive and feel hurt by it.

That's a common reaction. It might help to take a step back and assess the feedback objectively. Are there specific criticisms that have affected you the most?

Yes, some people say I'm not doing enough.

That can be tough to hear. It's essential to recognize your efforts and the impact you're making, even if it's not always visible. Have you considered seeking support from fellow activists?

I haven't, but that sounds like a good idea.

Connecting with others can provide encouragement and different perspectives. It’s also a great way to share experiences and strategies for handling criticism.
