Why do you have to be that way? I can make myself feel inadequate all by myself, thanks.

I get it if you don't like my art, or my self-portraits, or my lyrics. What I don't understand, is why take actual time out of your day to tell me that I'm a whole lot less than adequate? Mean comments never make sense to me. Is it to make yourself feel better about your own flaws, or are you really trying to help me by pointing out everything that's wrong with me and/or my work. "This part is shitty, and this part bores me, and I think you're mediocre, at best." That isn't what someone said, but it was the message. If you are someone who does that to people, it's my opinion that you're an asshole. But I guess the world needs balance. We can't all be kind people, can we? Actually, yes, we could if we WANTED to. Some of you just don't care to be that way. It's disheartening. I just wanted to say for you all to please consider other people's feelings when you float through the internet and troll people. Your comments can hurt people in the saddest of ways.

I could be spiteful and say that I hope it happens to you one day, but I really hope it doesn't. I wouldn't want anyone to feel the ways I've felt in the past. Once someone told me that I sound like a dying cow when I sing. That was like 10 years ago and the comment still sticks with me. Sometimes I figure that they're probably right. To me it's a shame that someone could make someone wonder if they sound like a dying cow when they sing a song. To me, it's wrong to do something like that to someone. Please be kind to others. That's really all I'm trying to say here. Much love to all of you, even the mean people. I hope you find some way to reverse your certainly bad karma.

I never understood how people could be like it either, especially when I was younger. But as times gone on I've realised they normally have their own things going on or a very different upbringing and have just chosen a different path to cope. However there will always be some that just like to cause pain to others especially on the internet where there are no consequences.

I have a young daughter and it breaks my heart to send her out in to the world each day where I can't be with her. School is so hard, it always has been I think, but now kids have an easier time being anonymously mean to others. And people on the internet, especially on places like youTube, they're just so mean with the comments. It's like it's almost therapeutic for some people to be cruel to others. I would much rather build someone up than tear them down. Thank you for commenting. :)

It is very difficult to change the internet and there will be trolls, so I'd say don't take it personally because probably they wouldn't dare to for example sing in a youtube video, they feel inadequate so instead they attack you because you are doing it, trying to drag you down to feel better about them not having the guts to do the same. So always remind yourself that you are stronger than trolls, as they hide in anonimity and expose who they really are, spiteful coward beings that need to grow out of that.

About having a child that could be exposed to trolls/abuse at school or on the internet, I would talk openly about this topics with her so they tell me if they are being bullied so I can help out.

Alright thanks for sharing
Cheers

Thanks for the input.. I am lucky in the fact that my daughter and I are pretty much best friends, and she has promised to always tell me if she's bullied or if she ever has suicidal thoughts or if her friends do. Not easy or comfortable conversations but I m happy that we had them. I definitely try not to let trolls bother me, and it's gotten a lot easier over the years. Doesn't bother me really much at all when people diss my singing anymore.

Thank you so much for your comment. Really kind of you. :)

Hey gurl don't mind those people who can't say good to others instead give them the most lovely and loving comments as possible let's see if they won't get annoyed hahaha. Just keep in mind they say bad and so mean to others because 1. They are jealous 2. Because they are also being mean to own self, 3. Because they can't do what u can do, that's why they want to drag u down and that don't let them do that to you. Don't give them that happiness and satisfaction. Go on of what u are doing for that's what u are best of. People who are like those, are people who are insecure. Steem on and God bless.

I'm with you in here, sadly there is people like that, maybe they don't meet their emotional needs and turn others down like that. I know how a bad comment can stick, and even more when you have emotional struggles. In the end I think we need to keep focusing on the bigger positive side, and keep being kind and polite to everyone :)

I totally agree. It's not always easy, but we can't let them keep us down.
