No-one likes to be criticised; it can be hurtful.  Criticism, if it is constructive and tactfully delivered, can be helpful.  Sometimes, it's good to be stopped in one's tracks, and, in my experience, any person who is in the habit of reflecting on their  behaviour is willing to take on board helpful observations.

I have a colleague who becomes really angry, defensive and almost abusive, when challenged (especially by her manager and no matter how tactful the criticism).  That sort of unprofessional behaviour is probably the result of a character that hasn't been trained to be self-reflective and hasn't been corrected at the right time in their life (preferably early).
