Embrace Honesty to Defuse Criticism
Instead of reacting negatively to criticism about personal attributes or character, one can disarm critics by humorously owning the flaws or exaggerating them.

Upholding honesty safeguards reputation and fosters resilience against potential attacks on credibility.
