Attitude problem, what attitude problem???

I pride myself on my ability to take constructive critisism and build on it.

or so I thought.

Today, I was told that my attitude could be better and the suggestion was that I need to be more aware of myself and how I'm coming across. This set my teeth on edge for hours.

The very fact that I was ticked off sent up red flags for me and told me that maybe I should look at myself a little more closely.

What does my attitude say about me? What does my attitude say about the people around me? If I'm offended, does this automatically put me in the right? If I'm offended could it be that an unpleasant truth about myself has been brought into the light and scrutinized by a stranger?

Was I upset that I had received critisism or was I upset because I didn't see it coming and felt attacked?

Attitude. Whether I like it or not, attitude is the most important thing about a person, and if mine is coming under fire, then....
