Totally agree that viewing negative feedback as a tool for self-improvement can be a useful and resilient perspective. My main concerns over the advice in the original comment are that: - It suggests that people only give feedback to you if they care about you or have to work with you again, which isn't true. - It implies that you should value whether people like you (or care about you). You're obviously free to choose whatever values you want, but external validation is a poor value imo because it's largely outside of your control. A more resilient mindset is to derive self-worth from intrinsic values e.g. hard work, self-improvement, kindness.
