I'm pretty sure that it's natural to feel hurt and discouraged when people say hurtful and disparaging things. This is part of the human condition, and it's why we have the concept of "hurtful words." Buddhist monks train their whole lives for the kind of emotional control you seem to expect from people, and most of them still don't have it down pat. It's not about being egotistical — it's just the way most humans are wired. We care what other people think.
- igorgue 10y agoI agree, having an ego and being egotistical is natural for humans, but this is the same forum where we preach "Not everyone can be an entrepreneur is not for everyone", obviously you have to do something abnormal. Buddhist, "detachment from emotions" is the thing, not "control of emotions" you cannot control something you're detached from. Sam recommends hiding from the comments, I recommend to get rid of your ego so you're no longer affected by it. Again, your mission is supposed to be bigger than yourself.
