RSSTaken to heart
I take things to heart far too much.
When people try to give me advice on anything I post on the internet, I feel like they’re patronising me, that they think I’m an idiot, and when I reply to them I always think that I’m coming across as rude and only making enemies. I never like asking anyone to suggest improvements on anything because it feels like I’m compromising my own artistic integrity, and I feel guilty for doing it because I know they’re only trying to help.
I know that this shouldn’t bother me like this, but it does, and even the slightest hint that someone might not like me sends me into a slight depression. It isn’t healthy, and it can’t be good for my relationships with people. I’m terrified of offending people, but I fear that I can’t help doing it. I know people’s emotions are not made of china and won’t shatter at the slightest thing, but I still fear that someone will take something I say the wrong way, and if they do, I fear that I will come across as a bitch.
It’s bothering me a lot more than it should.

First of, after what you have said, please know that we comment because we want to share someone what we think or say to other people. I’ll give you a straight and none offending.
We all receive those kinds of comments. It just depends if you’ll give in to their comments online. It’s an idea from other people whom we do not know. That’s what they think. it’s even online….. many people will say what they will say without even care! They CAN curse as many times as they want and still,…. you don’t need to listen to them because you don’t permit them to get that in ourselves.
If it still bothers you, you can cancel the account you made, swore never to visit that site again and find something else that would occupy your mind asie from the comments you read. Or, remove a contact in your list if you feel like he/she isn’t worthwhile to be in your list.
You can always say what you want and still get what you want to other people without being rude or offensive. Before you say something, think thrice and rephrase some negative words into positive ones so it won’t be that offensive.
It’s online. How would even these people know the TRUTH behind something you shared online? That’s what they think. They don’t know the very details of what really happened. They share what they think.
