No one likes to hear their own flaws. Our egos tell us we’re decent human beings and yet other people can still list flaws that we’ve never taken into heavy consideration. When friends give their opinions on what you can improve, you have two choices to make. Either you can become defensive, argue and rationalize, shift the blame to the other person, and potentially lose a friend or you can listen, reason it out, and do your best to improve.
Every once in awhile, it’s good to receive a reality check. If your friends were truly good friends, they wouldn’t mind telling you what you could be doing better so don’t be afraid to ask.
