    Criticism used to ruin my whole day. What helps now is writing down what was said, then separating what’s helpful from what’s just mean. Not all feedback is bad—it’s how we use it that matters.

    I try to remind myself that rejection is redirection. I got rejected from a school club I really wanted, but it led me to join another group where I actually made close friends.

    I once had a teacher who made me feel dumb for asking questions. But I kept asking anyway. I realized the problem wasn’t me—it was their approach. Speaking up is still worth it.
