You are rubber.
Pep Talk: People talk a whole lot of condescending shit on this internet machine. (I prefer not to have a message board for two reasons: 1) I can’t stand criticism and 2) if someone really MUST criticize me, they have to go way out of their way to contact me and then I can discount them as crazy for working so hard to contact a stranger. Seriously, do not contact me unless you think I’m awesome.) On some websites though, you have to be accessible and, as a result, you have to hear the unpleasant opinions of people you don’t know. Have they no self control, no decorum? Who are these bastards?
It doesn’t matter. Their opinions don’t matter to you. Tell yourself whatever you need to to get over this. If it feels right to say you’re too talented or attractive for them, so be it. Say what you need to! The trolls doth protest too much, methinks. No matter how much they deny it, they probably are jealous of you. No one writes entire paragraphs about a person with whom they aren’t consumed. You make an impact and that’s why you get attention. You don’t deserve to be insulted ever in any forum. You do not have to take abuse no matter what your industry, occupation, celebrity status, or social status. You are a beautiful human being. Now shut off your fucking computer.
Today remind yourself: I am rubber.
