The term constructive feedback is almost always interpreted as negative feedback and especially so, if it is something about you. Different people react differently when they are given feedback for improvement opportunities. Very few can handle it well right at that moment(and by handling I am referring to inwardly not outwardly reaction).
Some others take time to absorb it; they are a little sensitive about others' opinions of themselves but given some time, they get over it. They will then go to great lengths to take improvement actions.
And the remaining lot, sweat too much over it. They not only get defensive outwardly but also inwardly. And I think that is their biggest mistake. You can defend yourself as much as you want to others, but it will never help your cause in the long run. If there is room for improvement in any area, you might as well take a look into it. Or you'd wake up one morning and realize that you have not been learning anything over years.
I know each of us has a different personality and different ways of dealing with our work. But it is only by continuous improvement that one day we can look back and be proud of the trail we have left behind.
