The next of the six basic fears is The Fear Of Criticism. Let’s have a closer look …

THE FEAR OF CRITICISM

I find this fear particularly interesting. At some point in our history we evolved into creatures who take to heart the criticisms of others!

Think about it for just a few minutes and you will see many examples of this fear in action.

Every season clothing manufacturers change styles. There is nothing necessarily wrong with the current style, but how would they sell any product if things were the same from year to year. So they change styles to stay in business. We have all been trained over the years to think that we must keep up with the latest styles if we want others the think that we are affluent and in touch with the times, so we buy the newest styles to remain current in our fashion and avoid possible criticism from our peers.

Often times it is those closest to us that provide the majority of the criticism we face. The more time spent with people, the more they feel they have the right to criticize. I do not believe that it is necessarily meant to be mean, but rather to help, though it does not come across that way many times.

Parents, in their efforts to protect their child, may say things like “what a stupid thing to do.” They do not mean to call their child stupid, just the action is stupid, but this is not how it is perceived by the child.

The better approach it not to criticize, but rather to suggest constructively.

Some symptoms of the fear of criticism are: self-consciousness, lack of poise, inferiority complex, extravagance, lack of initiative, and lack of ambition.
