Most people'd break down to tears, you'd probably kill yourself.
Don't think of criticism as a series of insults, think of it as a "proofread". Do you think famous authors write a book, send it in, and make millions? No! If you've ever seen a proofread book, you'll wonder how the editor could afford that much ink. Does the author say "screw you" and release the book anyway? No! They cut, copy, and paste until the book is the epitome of perfection! I've seen novels get turned into children's books during the editing process, so don't expect it to EVER be easy. But the authors know that they either listen to the editor's criticism, or hear the same thing from thousands of angry readers. There's a VERY large line between completed and completed right. Cruel criticism WON'T go away. Kind criticism is always incomplete criticism.
It's a cruel world. Learn how to twist it around your finger, or get twisted.
