How do you handle corrections or criticisms from other people?
Or
What do you usually do for fun and how often do you do them?
Over time, I have learned that we most times react to things based on the way or point of view we are seeing it or analyzing it from at that point before one even has the consciousness of taking a deep breath and trying to think or analyze it from both perspectives.

We all have different ways we react to things and at different intervals. Most times we have the same occurrence of a particular incident same day but with different people, then we will realize that the way we acted with the first person isn't the same way we reacted with the second person when that same incident happened a second time and that is why I believe that the law of manner of approach is involved in the way we handle corrections or criticisms from other people.
So for me, there are three ways I react to or handle corrections or criticism from other people. I react to these things based on the manner of approach of the person, based on the person involved in the situation, and based on my mood for that day or that time.
The manner of approach, the person involved at that particular time, or my mood most determines how I react to corrections or criticism from other people and that is why I have few friends because I am quick to anger, even though I am working on it but most times, a person correction or critics might have a bad effect on me and the person involved because I couldn't control my anger or it took the best of me while other times because I was so happy, I smile and let whatever the person did which I felt wasn't appropriate go without talking saying anything because I don't give a damn about what they said especially if it is not from a pure heart.
Secondly, I am a shy person and over time, I realized that a crowd isn't my thing, and trying to correct me for something or criticize me in the crowd doesn't sit well with me especially if you aren't doing the same with others, I tend to shrink back into my shell and never come out until I am in my space or domain feeling safe and comfortable enough.
Lastly, I always end up blaming myself for the way a person corrected me or criticized me which ends up putting me in a depressing state because I am refusing to let go of whatever the person might have said that was hurting me. I end up flogging myself for whatever ways the person had spoken to me because I felt that the person wouldn't have spoken to me that way if I had not given the person the liberty to speak to me just the way they feel like want to.

I just love doing two particular things for fun and that is, reading books, and novels especially but not something that has to do with the Telemundo movie, secondly I love watching movies.
My love for movies and reading novels most especially when it has to do with novels that involve the wolf, vampires, moon goddess, and aliens that don't exist on this planet.
I have an app on my phone that gives me access to these books every day and I don't think I go a day without opening the app to read the new one I added to my library or to continue reading the one I was reading and for my movies, good enough have got a circle of friends that also enjoy watching movies, so I either get movies from them or I watch from YouTube channel at night using my YouTube bundle or night bundle and that is what I do for fun and I enjoy doing that.
I invite @merit.ahama and @glowie to participate in this contest.
