A significant other responding to you telling them about the comments you've received
Showing your manuscript to non-writer friends
Dedicated Beta Readers
Your critics
That one fan that meticulously edits and tears apart your manuscript, the one who demands rewrites, doesn't excuse your bullshit or placate your feelings in feedback...but does so for the betterment of the series. Truly constructive criticism.
When Fans pick their favorite character, but you hadn't planned on it
Breaking this poor habit in order to start writing
Being denied publication 
Fear of putting your writing out there
People calling you on your problematic scenes/lines/characters
Recovering from negative reviews
Realizing that whether good or bad, criticism helps us make a stronger narrative and that ultimately, you as an author have still have the control to make your vision shine
