Criticism is actually a good thing when it’s constructive, and it’s a sign that the person giving it believes in you enough to trust that you can do better! That being said whether it’s given in good faith or not I’m an overly sensitive little bitch crybaby and any time I’m told I did something wrong my brain immediately goes into “see this is because you’re an awful person and you’re always going to be awful look at all the horrible things you do to others you should do everyone a favor and get the hell out of their lives etc etc” mode 🙃

Key word here tho is "constructive." There def be ppl who never took an art class and don't rly know what it means to give "constructive criticism" and just equate saying horrible things to them doin you a favor.
But anyways, I feel ya tho on the mad anxiety over Any-Hint-That-I-Did-Something-Wrong (but I think for me is slightly different)

This one is more broad but mainly about people critiquing behavior. All my life I’ve had people try to police how I act and sometimes it is out of good faith and me getting spanked for doing something wrong and I can accept that. But because I’m so quick to agree with negative perceptions of myself and beat up on myself when someone tells me I deserve it I also end up landing my ass in abusive relationships where people tell me I’m a bad person any time they want me to act different because they know I’ll do it 🙃🙃🙃
Anxiety over criticism is the realest across the board tho we’re in this struggle together

“Listen when someone says you’re being bad to them otherwise you’ll end up a selfish shitty harmful person just like your father” vs “stand by who you know you are and don’t let anyone browbeat you into changing to become more convenient for them”

That definitely requires some trained judgement on a case-by-case basis. And developing the skills of introspection to evaluate your own actions and consequences while still maintaining your own dignity and self-respect can help to differentiate between the two.
I’m very good at being introspective honestly but because my paranoid mind is always going “what if you just THINK you’re being good about this” any time someone tells me I’m in the wrong even if logically I know there’s not a good reason to think that I am I freak out and worry that IM being the gaslighty abusive one and shut down because I’d rather hurt myself emotionally than accidentally be harmful towards someone else 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃 OH MENTAL TRAUMA YOU MAKE LIFE SO FUN TO NAVIGATE
