This. Although I think that the really important part of this problem isn't the criticism itself, it's the cause of the criticism - i.e. the noticeable imperfections in one's writing. Instead of having one's fic nicely edited once and for all, one has to fix their works on their own/have others point out what needs to be fixed. It may not impede one's progress, but it'll sure as hell make it slower.

Though the critique can be distressing, too, of course - I guess that depends on the person.

I agree - mostly I don't use a beta so I can spend a week or more obsessively going over and redoing parts of a fic before I post it.

I've got to a stage with an unpublished multi-chapter fic I was working on where I feel like I'll have to abandon it because I'm not happy with some potential plot holes in it. I've written quite a lot as well so it's a horrible feeling.

Critque is fine so long as it is helpful. I subscribe to the opinion that insulting a writer isn't constructive. But I guess some people have thinner skins than others and can see critique as abrupt even if it wasn't intended that way.
