What an amazing girl. Despite her accent, she was very well-spoken and easy to understand, with her carefully thought out words. I hope nothing but the best for her.

If I may add what really helps me when I get harassed on the internet, it is to raise a shield from the same energy I’m being attacked with.

If somebody thinks they’re better than me, I think I am better than them and I 110% ignore what they’re saying. If they make sure their intentions with comments are to help, only then I consider them.

You have to be some of a dick yourself if you wanna survive online. Don’t attack others, but when you get attacked, being kind to those people won’t help + you might end up feeling like a weak impostor in the end.

Remember: Nobody is living your life, so don’t think others know better than you yourself do. Nobody knows how much you’re dealing with, so don’t take word of pseudo-experts seriously.

I wrote this comment for those who feel weak and lost, so they might find strength within themselves.

Agreed totally.
People tend to write more negative things online without thinking through cos of anonymous nature of internet.
mindset often “We are not physically there therefore I could not possibly hurt anyone with words, therefore I will just disagree and put you down in the roughest possible way”

I think living right now is hard. Because you are constantly judging and being judged. And if you are not outstanding you are worth nothing. Being ” normal” is like being at the end if the scale.

Why do we fall? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up. When dealing with the nasty people, all must remember a block and report option exists if you cannot take it anymore.
