On Taking Criticism Well

I have been told more than five times that I take criticism really well.
On a rough estimate, three out of those five times, it's come from the same people who criticized me, or provided me with feedback, as I'd like to put it.

While all of it doesn't make me feel too bad about myself, I just wish I had the heart to tell most of them that the only reason I listened to them so patiently was because I didn't really give a damn about what they were saying or think that their opinion counted at all.

Because, we can't control people wanting to throw shit at us, but we can be selective about making a noise about it in case it hits us in the face or leaves a stain on our beautiful beige jackets.
