Some critiquers would never have liked what you wrote and want you to write something different. Some want you to rewrite it to be the story THEY would have written. Some, frankly, just like feeling superior.
Critique is useful when it's the right critiquers, who give the right kind of critique for you, and who understand and respect your boundaries.
That's hard to find, but when you find it, it's invaluable.

#WritersCoffeeClub 3: What's the sign of a good critique? It understands what you are trying to do with your story and helps you achieve that. It is respectful and undemanding, and does not cross your stated boundaries or fall outside the scope of your requested feedback. Or that's the case for me, anyway.
