This has been mentioned in previous prompt answers, and it still stands.
Typically, I am open and loving, so I feel both parties should express themselves. I never thought anyone would take advantage of that – using that time to insult and attempt to mentally degrade the other person, but it happens.
When there isn’t a problem, I often ask now…”and what’s wrong?” I’m not one for childish games and pointless conversations. It’s when I know the other person is saying something or doing something to get a rise out of me, that instead of trying to fix the situation…I should walk away.
Just because I wouldn’t lower myself to that type of behavior, doesn’t mean others won’t as well. I have learned time and time again, you can be 100% correct, and someone will find an issue with it. As discussed before. I’ve set not reacting as a personal goal.
Just recently, I discovered that someone keeps reporting my videos on Snapchat, simply to do so out of hatred. I would usually carry on, as it would seem fairly upsetting. But yesterday, I threw my head back and laughed. To take time out of your day to report my posts, when thousands of others still see my work…is a mystery to me. It won’t stop me from creating or posting, why bother? Why seek them out and ask why they’re mad at me? A lot of ignorance would come forth…exhausting us both. And none of it would make sense.
While I like how I respond now, I know it will be a thing to practice for the rest of my life.
