27.02.2024 11:08
Comments left by "trolls" on the Internet can throw anyone off track, ruin their mood and damage their self-esteem.
Perhaps the most correct reaction to them, which will save you from unnecessary stress, is complete ignoring.
We invite you to master the most important skill necessary for survival on the Internet - the ability to ignore harsh, rude and provocative comments.
Understand: loud does not equal important
Sometimes the loudest comments are also the most empty, and since they mean nothing, they don't deserve your attention.
Learn to see the difference between good advice and useless noise.
Every day we receive a lot of advice, but this does not mean that we should follow it. Before you use another recommendation, think about whether it corresponds to your worldview and values and whether it will help you achieve your goals.
Focus on the right people
You should focus not on those people who express their opinions more harshly and aggressively than others, but on those whose point of view really matters to you, and whose knowledge and experience can be useful to you.
Come to the realization that the "right" people are sometimes quiet
There are probably people among the commentators who support you, help you and encourage you, but at the same time do not try to attract attention to themselves. Sometimes they are invisible, because they do not throw harsh and critical statements, but their support can be very helpful.
Apply the 99:1 rule
This rule states that you should spend 99% of your time with people who praise and support you (or at least talk about your shortcomings in a friendly and calm manner), and the remaining 1% on picking out constructive criticism from hateful comments.
Grow on praise
Instead of trying to grow on the basis of criticism, do it on the basis of praise and encouragement - this way you will develop inner strength and gain even more self-confidence.
Sympathize with empty people
Since loud comments are often the lot of empty people, there is nothing left to do but pity them.
