There's definitely something in the old saying "if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all". Most trolls/haters would never say things to someone's face that they say online. I often read comments (mostly on youtube) and think "geez, would you say that in front on your mother?". My guess is no.
Also jealousy is a bitch. A lot of people don't like seeing others succeed. It's that simple. However, this platform in particular, provides an opportunity for everyone to succeed. The beauty of steemit and the gift economy is someone doesn't have to lose for someone else to win.
Keep doing what you're doing. Reflect on your achievements and all the good stuff you've got going on, and be proud. I hope that helps bring you back good place emotionally. 💙
What an awesome message. Thank you very much for that.
You have gotten me thinking, and you are so right. Many of the people only say bad things online because they know they have a place to hide. Especially user's without any identification. Me for example, I expose myself solidly here. I give out my information and my pictures. I am contactable almost anywhere. I know that I cannot simply say what I want, because I have a reputation to uphold (Literally).
But all those other people, who think they can say what they want, I don't think it's a fair match. I see it as a little cowardly by thinking a person has the right to say what they think, but they cannot how their face.. Thank you for that realization. You have reminded me about that.
I appreciate the support from every single on of you. You are so cool!
Oh yay! I helped someone today. 😁
And now I feel good about that.
Hell yeah you are awesome :)
I am glad you feel good!
