How do I handle brutal feedback from colleague?

My colleague leaves brutal and rude feedback when reviewing my code. Just, imho, intense and unnecessary, and definitely unprofessional. This feedback is given on a fairly recurring basis, and I don't think I can stand much more of it. How do I bring this up to them in a way that’s effective and professional, and how can I get this behavior to stop?

Notice that this is a very unhealthy work environment. Ideally you should start job hunting and find a place that's good for you. A mentor can help you with that as well.

One of the tricks is to find a bigger bully or bigger mentor. estrenosdoramas

Maybe it would be better to confront the person and if he starts being rude escalate to your manager.

One thing to consider in the approach is to bring concrete examples.

Hi [code reviewer], could we talk over some of your recent pull request reviews. I want to hear more about your perspective and share tamildhoolserials.com my perspective as well. In particular, let's look at PR #1234.

My condolences when you have such a colleague, anyway, you should listen, analyze and find out, whether the reflection is true? stand in the position of always listening and changing, but if not, you can meet and speak in person. I think it is stickman boost.
