When legitimately crappy people criticize me and are right about it

I've been in this situation so many times and there's almost nothing I hate more.

It's these times where I have my behavior (usually related to asperger's) criticized by someone who is either a lousy person, or at the very least the way they went about criticizing me was messed...and I eventually have to concede that there was merit to their criticism.

To me personally, this is very hard on my ego and self-image. I can't stand it. I can't stand how these dopes always seem to have legitimate reasons to criticize me. I try very hard to police my own behavior, but I can't help but have slip-ups sometimes. It's very frustrating.

I am totally opposite. I cannot even believe my own family would love me anymore. So when someone criticizes me I think, "Yeah? And?"

It's when they are nice that I am like "What? What did I do? Are you being serious?"

I am not joking. It takes me a minute or two...........then I am in tears because it feels so good.

Crow anyone?
 
Not sure where it comes from, but it's so true:

"When your enemy speaks about you, listen, for he tells the truth."
