    Is it that simple to not just take the criticism? People often criticize without asking for their advice. If it was that simple to ignore (not take) that everyone would be happy.

      Ignoring is one strategy. But it’s one of avoidance and won’t work all the time. Most of us will have these people in our life situations from time to time, the unsolicited advice givers. They may have something else to offer besides their “wisdom”. You can’t always ignore them entirely, depending on circumstances.

      I take it to mean that you can give yourself permission to not take any and all criticism on-board if you really want to. You don’t have to take that thought and make it part of you.
