Hello my small (yet amazing) group of readers.

Today I wanted to share some tips on how to handle negative comments and deal with online bullying.

Nearly every webpage these days has a comment section. Unfortunately everyone's a critic and it's a tough crowd!
If you have ever felt bullied, or taken a comment to heart, listen to what I have to say.

1. It's not personal. It really isn't ;)
2. Don't allow it to get to you. For every [B]1[/B] negative comment, there are [B]10[/B] positive comments. Ignore the negative minority, focus on the positive majority.
3. Look at constructive criticism as a helpful tool. Believe me, it's tough to do something you feel is perfect, and someone suggests a way to improve but that's how you get better!
4. Do not feed the troll. A lot of comments are made in an effort to gain a reaction from you. Do not give the person the satisfaction because eventually they will get bored and move on.
5. [B]Block[/B] the negative out. :cool: It's cool when haters are your fans, but we're just not interested. Right? Right. :encouragement:

Lastly, remember that you can't change everyone. It's not worth the energy because....
