My manager is very impatient and often criticises me. I cant take criticism well and have a low threshold of stress. What can I do to get stronger (to cope) on my own and without changing her at all?

Oh this is a great question! This is probably something you could chat to a listener about to bounce off techniques and see what might work for you and what you're comfortable with. It's basically about building resilience; so that over time you know that the criticism isn't personal and she does mean well. Sometimes this means thought challenging; so knowing that what she says doesn't change how you see yourself, or it might be about being more assertive in the way that you guys talk, or even just learning different habits so that you can be an effective worker or deal with stress more effectively (like yoga, mindfulness or taking breaks). Hope this helps!

Don't take what your manager says to you too hard stay positive and always keep moving forward and know that you can overcome anything that is put in front of you

When I need to 'train' myself to handle stress, I often write out my worries and thoughts. It helps me to list all the reasons why I have done my best and my strengths and reaffirm that it is the other party who is unnecessarily harsh. Another method I found which trained my mental strength is exercise. Pushing through the 'pain' and 'stress' (good pain and stress, mind you!) to keep on working out has helped me build both my physical and psychological strength. Exercise is also a good stress reliever!

You just have to ignore her words.don't consider someone's criticism.its a great enemy of our growth

You can always start by asking them to be a little more sensitive towards you. If you're starting to feel anxious, take some deep breaths and try to calm down before you begin working.

This is actually an amazing question to ask! I know for me, criticism and high-pressure situations tend to make me freak out, sometimes I will just burst into tears! Oops! I found that working on stress relieving activities through the day helped. I love coloring or music. Sometimes, You can just memorize a little mantra to play in your head, to remind you to stay calm and that she is only your boss :)

Try to put yourself in your managers shoes. He/she is often under great pressure and may seem to be barking at you over relatively simply and easily resolved problems. What could you do to help relieve his/her stress? Answer the phone a bit faster? That is easy. Greet customers with a warm smile and ask what you can do to help them? That is easy. If you can help them reduce their stress and meet their goals, you should find an improvement in your working relationship.

The best thing to do is talk with your manager about how you feel without criticizing him/her. Try to compromise with them, and take a deep breath. Remember, they want you to grow as an employee.

It's totally natural to react to criticism with refusal and/or feeling bad about yourself. What helps me is to always remember that if people criticise you, they just want you to know what to do differently (which is better than them being angry about it without telling you) and they believe that you can do better (otherwise there would be no point in telling you). So just try to take it as a request for improvement if you can! Also: Nobody is perfect, and it's totally fine to make mistakes.

Most criticism comes from reaction to a situation, not from judgement of a person personally. Think of it as coaching for opportunities instead of critical pointing out of flaws, and it's less stress and more motivation!
