My advice to people who face "online trolling" or any kind of persecution for that matter, would not be to ignore it but to accept it. Accept the fact that people are scary and hide behind a screen; and accept the fact that not everyone will accept you.
And that's OK because you don't need everyone's acceptance because who are they? Are they helping you accomplish what you set out to accomplish? Do their opinions of you shape the reality that you see in front of you?
If not, then accept yourself and screw everyone else's opinions, focus on you and your goals; don't waste your time or energy on anyone or anything that isn't making your wallet fatter or making you smarter.
Accept your self first and worry about others later. There aren't enough hours in the day to deal with others BS on top of the BS in your own life.
In an age of information ignorance is a choice; you have almost unlimited knowledge at your finger tips; yet you decide to be a moron and worry about what people are saying in a chat room wasting precious time you could be using to learn or do something useful. Why? because you hope to gain their approval? You hope they will think you are cool? Or because you want to impress some mindless moron who isn't doing anything to better them self as an individual or change their net worth? If these are your reasons for wasting time on people that are bringing you down then you are childish and stupid.
Do what you set out to be, If your trying to make that money then go make your money; If your trying to change the world then change the god damn world.
And another thing don't say... Do.
If there's one thing you take from this it should be this:
You are a ship on a course to a destination -wherever that may be for you- Don't stop for anyone or anything until you reach it. Worrying about what people are saying on the internet isn't go to help you move forward; so don't.

I totally agree with what you said; my post was relatively similar to yours. I too, strongly believe that we shouldn't waste our energy on snide remarks geared towards us because they are coming from people that, in the end, mean nothing to us. I acknowledge that there will always be someone out there who doesn't like us, so why give them the satisfaction of triumph when they try to tear us down? While we're moving towards better things in life, they will still be sitting behind their computers screens, bitter and miserable.
ReplyDeleteI agree with with this because people shouldn't be all hurt over someone saying stuff behind a screen , but the fact that it would get to someone is pointless. There is no need for a reply back to whoever is saying random things just for attention or the satisfaction they want. Noticing the outcomes from ether side is just remarkably unhealthy and unwanted.
