Often we are being told a lot of things and often those advice come from random people. And we can't understand how to take such type of the advice and how to take such type of the criticism. This happens when you have not drawn any form of the boundary for developing yourself and finding the line between advice and criticism.
People on social media face both advice and criticism. And they don't understand where they should be drawing the line. Social media is full of strangers and they come out of their own mindset randomly and come out with the advice & criticism. Which often can be ignored and you can always disable comments too.

You should always take advice from the people who have more experience about the context. Like say if you are planning on having career in IT, you should take advice from the people who are into the IT field. Avoid taking the advice from the people who are into the farming. Or even any other field that does not have any connections with the the field. Also try to take advice from people who have managed to do things which you are trying to accomplish.
You should only take criticism from people who want to see you succeed. And that can be said only when you know that person. Or the person who wants to see you successful is in positive note with you. So criticism has a lot of sources like say positive and negative. So find out how the criticism is coming out and through which sources. So that is kind of skill that you would have learn as well.
You have a skill to learn through which you can understand what comes your way is advice or criticism. And you have to also learn to filter the criticism and know how to take the advice. Life is not an easy path to walk on and also taking any form of criticism and advice is lot harder.
