How to not take critical feedback personally?

However despite getting A's on 99% of my assignments it seems every time there is feedback that is critical I take it too personally. I am not really sure. However I just do! I like to think of myself of a rather humble person that can take advice and apply it. However, this critical feedback on papers and other assignments is hard for me to swallow. I try my hardest every time. So perhaps when I get that critical feedback it makes me question my ability.

When I went to the university to study physics, I had the idea that I could do better than Einstein with the GToR. It took one semester for me to realize my error. I'd like to think that the people who grade your papers are doing it with the proper methods. I know that it was easy for me to see the error of my ways with physics, because the theory is there, pretty much black and white, at the undergrad level. What is your field of study? Is there a little wiggle room for interpretation in your work? I know with mine, if I did an integral wrong, it was wrong, no bones about it.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
