Everyone has trouble accepting criticism to some degree or another. I've found that with younger engineers this is some amount of imposter syndrome that can express itself in different ways. One way I've found to break through is to highlight all of the positive things I notice in a PR. Even if it's something that should be expected (eg. "Thanks for writing this test!") the positive re-enforcement helps with confidence and softens the blow when you do point out some areas for improvement.
