How do you handle negative criticisms about you?

A sound mindset goes something like this: Life is not here to fight us. We don’t have to defend ourselves against life.

What are some ways to deal with failure?

The reason why we suffer after failing is because we feel ashamed (i.e. our pride is hurt), and/or we feel like we’ve missed out on an opportunity in life (this is due to our inferiority complex/greed).
