No, the critics will never go away.
Why?
These are nutrients to the kingdom life. We must have them to be disciplined to lean upon His provisional grace. If we didn't have multiple critics in our walk, we would begin to believe we were self-sufficient. The thorns of II Cor. 12:5-11 are critics targeting the most amazing, even surprising, conclusion that His power flows through the canals of human weakness.
Will the critics ever go away? We hope not. These are needed because we are the ones that need them.
Don't be discouraged. Admittedly, I get there. But then I remember the value of each who seems to oppose. God is not done grooming me to lean upon Him rather than my own understanding and skill.
That's.....a good thing.
