Absolutely. It can be easy to drown in the pit of negativity some people will try to put you into. That's part of why I love it here. Blocking is always an option.
I like to put it: Deny them the privilege of your audience. It sounds eloquent as you slam the door in their face.
Very nice message, I love the comic. I especially love the message that people don't actually hate you, just their perception of you. People, especially online, don't know you. Because of that, so much of that hate is misguided. Hoping you all have a nice Christmas this year
Glad to find you here and reposting! Your "new normal" comic helped me get through pandemic stress. I kept it in a bookmark to refer back to when things were tough.
Well. I want to hear the lions side of the story. Because you may do something to upset them and you whim "I don't know. It's their misunderstand. I'm the victim here." to your friends.
I don't remember when I first came across this comic but it fundamentally changed the way I viewed life and it helped me appreciate the people that love me so damn much. Thank you.
We're biased to remember negatives because negatives can be really bad. Think venomous snake, drowning, hornet swarm, or black bear bad. This helped our ancestors but it's less helpful now when *everyone* can be a rage-fueled sarcasm dispenser.
I know first-hand that this lesson can take a long time to really internalize, but man, it really make things feel so much better when you do. If you spend time considering whether hate toward you is actually warranted & your logic tells you you're fine, try to trust that logic as much as you can.
I delt with rejection sensitivity so hard but then I told myself “I’m too nice to be the problem, its them whos missing out” and that shit really did work
I'll have to add this to the affirmations list lol.
People really can be the worst of the worst but if they dislike me for any reason it will ruin my entire day lol
