There is definitely a difference between constructive criticism and plain venomous remarks that will hurt the person that they are addressed to. But constructive criticism should only come from people who understand what they're talking about and - most importantly - from people who know that YOU are interested in such opinions from them. Unasked-for, offensive views shouldn't come from anyone and shouldn't be uttered publicly (not even privately, of course)! I mean, such people obviously have a problem of sorts and try to vent it on you, so avoiding them is the best strategy for you.
