Great Comebacks when someone says you’re so critical

Clever replies when people say your critical

We all get called on to give feedback from time to time, but some folks just don’t want to hear negative comments about their performance, attitude or anything they do. Feedback is the breakfast of champions, how can you get better at something if you don’t know that you’re off track in the first place? People who can’t take criticism usually turn around and shoot the messenger, they will complain that you’re the problem and you are being overly critical.

If somebody is angry because they didn’t like your perceived negative comment, and they complain that you’re being too critical, you can either take it or use a few of these snappy comebacks as a retort.

Tell us what you think is the best answer, if you have an even better comeback leave it in the comments below.
