Dealing with Negative Comments - Respond Don't React
Hi Everyone,
I've been on WA for a month and today was the first time I experienced a negative response to a blog I shared on Facebook.
I realise that being on social media does open you up to negative opinions that brave people behind their keyboards love to express. However, it's difficult to digest, especially when the post itself was intended to inspire.
I could have reacted, but instead I chose to respond. I simply accepted the comment for what it was, a comment. Behind the comment is likely an unhappy, hurting person. I've learnt that hurt people hurt and broken people break.
I blocked the person from my page and took the advice of Taylor Swift to 'shake it off'.
If you're experiencing any negative comments now or have in the past, don't engage with a reaction. Simply see the hurting person behind it and respond by letting it go.
You're an awesome member of a really supportive community, so with any comments you receive always consider the source!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Good for you, Evie. You accepted the comment for what it was: a comment. If we get bogged down so much in all the negativity, we may take things personal. That usually will result in a significant decrease in mindset and productivity. Hope this helps.
All the best,
Kent
Thanks Kent, it's been a bit of a negative week and this sort of rounded it off lol. Next week will be better
Hello Evie. Congratulations! you have just proven yourself to be a real leader; one who is matured enough to know that you will not please everyone.
Remember everyone is entitled to their own opinion and we must accept people for whothey are. It is their downfall if they do not see the value you bring to the world. So do what you need to get over this cry, mope,or feel how you need to feel for now. Thats fine; but remember life is moving on for everyone.
Once again congrats on your leadership journey success
Cheers!

When you go online, you should have a mindset to accept the comments on both sides and treat them both as but a part of your journey to your online business success. Learn from it or just ignore it and move it. Don't put it to heart. . The faster you learn this the better for you.
Negative comments are common on the internet.
I don't waste time in conversations that do not add value to my website. Many people tend to leave positive and negative comments, but we don't have to care about their opinions. If they leave some constructive feedback, I may give my attention for a few minutes. I hope it helps.
Thanks, that does help. I was expecting it at some point just not so early in lol. I will only engage with positive comments and constructive feedback too

Well done, Yvonne!
