Is it hard for professional actors/actress to hear harsh criticism from people who still support them by watching them act?
Whenever I watch a movie with friends which I do often, they tend to judge the actors fort the way they perform on social media's and tag the actors they are talking about to seem cool. For actors reading or hearing about these comments, I wondered if they took it personal or it is just something they are use to hearing. #film-acting

Many actors do not read reviews, and many are too busy to read all the social media about them. Even if they have an account, it can be read first by an assistant. Or they receive so many comments they cannot really read them, or just sort of scan them.
If they take it too hard, it would be difficult to survive emotionally. It is important for actors to build and have confidence in their talent.
They have to have some confidence if they've gotten that far, too.
