“You have to know how to accept rejection and reject acceptance.” - Ray Bradbury

Would you rather receive a critique that pointed out every weakness in your writing or one that praised the “genius” of your work? Your writing will occasionally be torn to shreds by an ornery old lion. When you learn to thrive on criticism you will be able to take those shreds and develop a much stronger piece. Most reviewers are genuinely trying to help even when they sound like an ornery old ignoramus.
