This was in a recent James Clear newsletter (https://jamesclear.com/3-2-1/february-2-2023) with the following:
“The trick to viewing feedback as a gift is to be more worried about having blind spots than hearing about them.”
I think that advice will really help me. Feedback from my father was always negative and meant to cut me down, so I often get defensive when I shouldn't. Reminding myself that I really want to correct my blindspots could make getting feedback easier for me.
