Not every opinion deserves entry into your inner world.

Not every opinion deserves entry into your inner world. Some people speak from experience and care; others speak from envy, pain, or without knowing you. When criticized, ask whether this person understands the subject, wants your good, and offers something specific. Otherwise, it may be only noise. Remain open to useful feedback, but do not give every voice equal authority. Space inside you is limited; choose whose words are allowed to live there.
