I hate to say this -- as an older person -- the only solution is to get a thicker skin, because people on occasion are going to be assholes to you. Even good people in a moment of snark. Even when they completely misunderstand what you did and that it is good. And worse, there are those who just tear down anything. It's just a fact of life. I suggest you read Feynman's "What do you care what other people think?" It helped me a lot.
- dasil003 14y agoSpot on, this does get easier as one gets older, but one thing that makes it harder is Twitter itself. The nature of Twitter seems to create a primary-school-like atmosphere because of the short format and asymmetrical following mechanism. When you don't have the bidirectional communication it creates an effect like young children or people with underdeveloped social skills where you don't see peoples reactions and have a poor sense of what's really going on around you.
