I made something I know for a fact a lot of people under 20 use, and the entitlement in the community is really something else when compared to other projects. In this particular project it helps to remind yourself that people are most likely under 20 as you don't let children and teenagers get to your head the same way an adult would.
The internet is a weird place where you'd think everyone is probably around your own age.
Personally I've just learned to ignore negative feelings in bug reports and general entitlement over wanting features.
A pattern I picked up from all of this and even caught myself thinking a few times is if more than 2 or 3 things are not working as it should you'd think everything is broken. You end up with a bug report that is 95% negative emotions about you and your project and the remaining 5% describe what the actual 2 bugs are.
It usually happens when you decide to rewrite something for a better future. You're told to roll it all back rather than fixing what's wrong.
I think it helps to find people in the community that act more like adults and involve them in the project more. They will often help you in return to manage entitlement from other people.
