It's like cats, you try to pour water on it to clean it, it won't like it, but if you give it a treat, it could accept the water

Here's the thing: I can actually take criticism, it just can't sound like it's coming from a person who's "better than everyone" and it also can't come from one of my enemies; However like for example you could tell me "you know, you're chill, but you're also a tiny bit annoying" and I'll try working on it (but I'll probably fail) whereas if you tell me something like just straight up "you're annoying" I'll be stubborn
