Honestly, I'm shocked to see how fragile people have become... every word can be considered a personal attack.
Now, listen carefuly. Criticism can be constructive and unconstructive. They are classified by their content and not the emotion that you have recieving it. The first one gives some ACTIONABLE FEEDBACK, the latter - does not. For example: "Your thing is shit."/"I don't like it"/"It's great, I love it." - is not constructive as no corrective action can arise from this. Constructive criticism starts with specifing the reason of discontent, and (desireably) steps to make it better. And not this "My value threatened!!!!11" bullshit of this article.
This article goes into how people are afraid to make mistakes because of criticism. And you know, they should be. Instead I want you to imagine the world where people are afraid to criticise, because some snowflake might take it to heart and cancel you or do some other stupid shit. Imagine if scientists didn't criticise each others works. Or engineers didn't fix weak parts of construction, because it would damage their creative ego.
Stop being so freaking insecure about yourself. Criticism is key part in humanity's progress.
