Hey, wanted to respond to your comment because mine could come off as unhealthy.
I simply mean that I'm old enough, have experienced enough that there are very few people in the world that can say something which I haven't already been told or I haven't imagined myself. Some rando on the net can't possibly hurt.
But yeah, I don't mean to suggest suppressing your feelings.
- spywaregorilla 5y agoRespectfully I don't really agree that this is a thing. There is an element of discerning that a person is just a jerk, misguided, dumb, or just shitposting without consequence due to anonymity or whatever and learning to disregard their opinions as irrelevant. That is, a lot of internet randos fall into this category. But I also think if people don't trigger a warning as someone worth shunning that their criticism affects us, especially irl.
- fidesomnes 5y ago> I've been in academia for awhile, I'm used to getting serious criticism. I'm a man, my whole life I've been told to toughen up. There's really almost nothing you can say to me that is going to hurt me. I really mean it. All a student has to do is call you racist or touch one and you are fired. Have a nice day "manning up" to that one!
