Having a past where I had bosses and coworkers criticizing me or lecture me in front of the customers, even still being very emotional and sometimes a crybaby to this day, made me have hard skin for certain things, or at least laugh at it and keep a posture until I'm alone and go play a game that kills monsters to distress myself lolol
Jokes aside, being in this online journey for a bit I already got to see a variety of types of people. You will get this offline as well but online, people being behind a keyboard it seems it gives them the power to be either bullies, haters or even victims when they aren't.
Drama is everywhere for sure. So it's criticism.
If you are doing something it's because you are doing something. And some will hate you and criticize you for that just because. If you say something even just joking about yourself you may offend people for whatever reason.
One thing is certain...
If you get easily triggered when someone says something even just slightly bad about you and/or what you do, a blog post about a certain topic or opinion or the way you are building your business for example, and get offended or even feeling a victim, oh boy...you really need to get a full armour gear! Or go somewhere else where you might think you are safe, but you aren't.
Because these are everywhere and will come and go and will always try to turn you down.
But you will also go down to their level if you get easily offended and pull a keyboard fight!
If you want to survive in this online journey, you must have hard skin for it!
Believe in yourself and if you believe in what you are doing, even if that certain project may go down because just simply didn't work, failures also make you grow.
But you will grow even more when you are grateful and accept the criticism.
You only live once, they say, there are enough Karen's and Richards in this world already 🤣
Embrace the Journey and accept all things either good or bad!
