Receiving feedback, however, does not mean that we have to agree with or act on it. Think of feedback as a gift. If your aunt gives you an unattractive sweater as a holiday gift, you can accept it and thank her for it, but that doesn’t mean you have to wear it. That sweater may be a reflection of her taste and not really say anything about you. The person giving feedback is operating from their own invisible iceberg, so their perception is not objective, either.
