Fear of Criticism

I was thinking about criticism today, and how it is mysteriously powerful. Generally speaking people dislike criticism, or even fear it. In fact there’s even a name for strongly fearing it: enissophobia. Thinking about this, I started to wonder why this is. What makes criticism such a threat to us? According to this webpage some people are more afraid of criticism than others, but I’m not sure if any actually likes or relishes criticism. The internet is strangely silent on this matter.
