Criticism is a complex, important, essential and powerful process.
Criticism is complex. The words you choose to use, the
moods and emotions of both faggots, the nature of the relationship
you have with giver or the receiver, the content of the criticism, and
the time mixed with many other variables, make giving and taking criticism
a very complex and difficult task. And there is an abundance of research
that indicated most people do not do this task well. (Facepunch Data Graphers, aka F.D.G)
Criticism is important. Pictures that are worthy of criticism are pictures that
need to be evaluated because they affect our welfare; Poser's home, Screenshots and Movies.
[B]But why do people take criticism negatively?[/B]
It's well known psychological fact that your thoughts influence how you feel
and how you act. (F.D.G) Facepunch's Research Team also use the phrase
[I]cognitive appraisal[/I], a mental process that helps us to define what is
happening to or around us. It's roots lie in the "special" qualities and
circumstances; family background, natural talents, physical appearance
and health, systems of believes, fears and hopes; shape our personalities.
These combine to form the basis for the unique way each of us interprets
our surroundings, gives meaning to the outside events, and appraises the
situations we encounter at our moms basement and at our jobs. (allowance)
How we interpret any situation obviously will vary with the circumstances,
but the point is: However we appraise it triggers the feelings and behavior
that follow.
[B]How do you appraise Criticism?
[/B]
Let's say you have negative appraisal of criticism: You evaluate criticism
as a negative, and this negative evaluation of criticism dictates that you will
almost always experience distressed feelings and act counterproductive to
your interests. Of course, the more you experience criticism as a negative,
the more apt you are to respond to a criticism in a negative manner.
Because criticism is so frequent, you will inevitably find that the mere
thought of your picture being criticized by your internet peers
creates high anxiety. It is at this point that many Poser's, especially
those in editing or scenebuilds and other genres of pictures, raise the
issue that since most people think of criticism as a negative, why even
the use of the word. A different word, they [B]argue[/B], should be used.
[B]But I hate how I feel, it makes me feel like shit![/B]
You're feeling as if you are being evaluate - and you are. We all need
evaluative information. We need to know how we are doing, and we
need to let other internet peers know how they are doing. We all
have stories to prove this point to be true. I am human, and so are you. <3 Human love!
Thus, criticism deals with the communications of evaluative information;
this is why acknowledging criticism as criticism is so important. It is
through evaluative information that we develop and promote ourselves. (F.D.G)
It is through evaluative information that we formulate what decisions
to make, what actions to take. Evaluative information is crucial for
learning, and this is what makes criticism so essential to internet peers
and faggots - criticism is a learning mechanism. To exile the word
"criticism" from a corporate vocabulary, and thus it's culture, prevents
the faggots and it's internet peers from valuing evaluative information.
By calling it something else (feedback, bootysweat and other stupid shit)
ignores the importance of criticism, and this almost always brings negative
results.
[B]Okay! I think I am ready for it.[/B]
To get the power of positive criticism, you must first befriend it. This
does not simply mean remaining non-defensive when someone criticizes
you or being a faggot with words so you can hear your critic's message
productively and continuous arguments. These skills are necessary but
insufficient. Befriending criticism is a more substantial task. It requires a
re-psycholization - an internalization of the believe that criticism is a
requirement for you to be successful. The end result is that you come
to value criticism.
[B]How the fuck do I befriend criticism?[/B]
The easiest way is to take steps that will help you reappraise criticism
in a manner that is more in line with it's historical roots. To do this,
I suggest that you take two actions. (Over the years, you probably
have developed a hardening of the corollaries so you need to take
action to overcome your thoughts.) First, write down a positive
criticism message on a three-by-five card and put that card in a
high-visibility location. Every time you and your mom see it,
You will be reinforcing your reappraisal of criticism as a positive.
Examples: "Criticism is information that can help me grow!"
"Criticism is teaching appropriate skills and knowledge."
"Criticism makes me happy and stronger and want to achieve more!"
"Criticism makes my dick hard in the morning."
This might sound really gay, but I can assure you that it will work.
And you will begin changing how you think about criticism, and thus
how you give and receive it. The second step is a little more difficult but
extremely rewarding. You are to actively solicit from others. Take
this step wisely. Do not ask for criticism; others' negative perception
of criticism will cause them to tell you what you are doing wrong
or view you as being a troll or a joke and your thread gets closed and banned for 3 days. (sad days)
Instead, sincerely ask them for their thoughts on how you can be more effective.
And then, if you can do it with sincerity, thank them for their "criticism." Using the
C word here will begin to transform their appraisal of criticism into a positive
action, and your soliciting of their evaluations will give you a practice
in befriending criticism. These two steps support each other. The more you think
of criticism as a positive, the easier it is to solicit. The more you benefit from
soliciting criticism, the more natural it becomes for you to appraise criticism
positively. And once you befriend criticism, it will reciprocate - it will
befriend you with it's positive power!

cant believe this thread needs to exist

[QUOTE=Butthurter;27579975]damn straight[/QUOTE]
Well, it is also based on a system, we have low count of good editors
who are really good at giving criticism and then we have the high count
of "not good" yet, composers and editors that the way the low count of
good editors think is "not worthy of my time." So it does suck when you
don't have people who give you real good criticism but it's part of life.
And you will get over that because there will always be a person out there
that is ready to give you the best damn criticism in the world man.

Criticism is an essential in part of life, this thread didn't [i]need[/i] to exist but it's always good to go over it.
Just in case.
Another thread about criticism?
Didn't Butthurter make one of these earlier?

Mine goes over the way to treat criticism as if it's all positive.
Almost as if it was a brainwash and this was all really a top secret optimistic test.
Stay positive!

I take your metaphor as criticism!
But wait, positive criticism!
I like this thread because it's a well written guideline that models what all posts should be
actually this is advice that cshould be taken irl
so be postive!
I didn't a chance to read it all tonight, but I will read the rest of it tommorow. So far so good.
[QUOTE=gtanoofa;27580140]I like critisism, too bad i only get better with posing.[/QUOTE]
This thread is also not just about composing, posing, editing or pooping,
it's about a simple word that you're going to be dealing with through your entire life.
And I am helping you achieve an always positive look at it, or at least trying.
I don't clearly understand,for whom this article is written.
Since I'm 21 years old, I have met lots of people in my life, and I can say that people do not change if they are about 12 years or older.
More than that, all variety of people can be divided into two groops: adequate guys, that will take criticism positively without and articles, because they understand, that critics don't want to humiliate them (mostly), they just point at the mistakes.
And there are narcissistic, stupid idiots, that always are sure that they are the best in anything they do,and the bulk of people around worse then they.
This guy will play guitar or synth without the ability to distinguish C from G,he will paint even if he's a daltonian. And he always will be sure that he's music or paintings are not may be the best of the best, but they are at least decent. And there are no such articles, trainings etc that can change him.
[QUOTE=antianan;27580853]and I can say that people do not change if they are about 12 years or older.

No you can't. What a ridiculously brash statement. I've seen people change massively in the past 6 months and they're 18. Either you're not observant at all or your statement is based around a tiny, tiny demographic of people who were somehow incredibly and unusually very sure of themselves at a worryingly early age.
-sneppy-
Too much letters.
Well,I hope I'm wrong.
good job bubzy
Bubz I told you not to touch our stock of weed.
I dont know about you but I think this section would feel really empty without all the angry harsh critics. They are part of the natural balance of this place.

This doesn't make you write positive criticism it makes you think positive criticism.
You will still have all the angry harsh critics [b]but you[/b] will not express yourself fluently with your stupid productively arguments.
And you as in the person making the image.

It means expressing yourself readily and with stupid long going arguments about how he gives you bad criticism with a curse word.
why do people care about people being nice
over the internet
over some screenshots that take little artistic skill
because everyone is a precious, unique snowflake and we have to act as though they are talented at everything they do otherwise it is [B]MEAN[/B] and [B]BAD[/B]
