You know what? People often don’t care. Scratch is better off without me. I don’t even care about my lame projects anymore, as I’m deleting them all. Scratch’s community is bad, real bad. I expect more hate, way more hate. ( I’m being sarcastic) But anyways, scratch is not healthy for me. I get so much addicted to scratch, and yeah. But let’s talk about the basics, scratch mass reporters/evil haters/ etc.. they make scratch more addictive, by that I mean you got attentional by thinking if the haters begin spam hating you and all that other stuff. Now the mass reporters.., people often get mass reported when they’re on trending. Like me.., the guy who gets targeted a lot. You feel really depressed if your hard working project gets mass reported. But hmm, trending is the battleground for mass reporters. Mass reporters usually report a hard worked project that’s #1 to #50 on trending, I mean like, why do we need trending? It makes people pretty demotivated if a project that took a lot of effort doesn’t get noticed, like we all feel sad at that moment. Sincerely your worst - @-AirAnimations- ———— Remix to show your support. ———— I feel confident with these tips I thought of and handled my self with haters: 1. Know your haters. The kind of comments a person posts on social media speaks a lot about the person him/herself. What you need to realize is that a person who’s incessantly trolling you is probably at a very sad and unhappy place in their own life. Would a person who’s living a fulfilled life hide behind the screen of anonymity and spend their time being mean to some random person on the internet? Internet trollers are in most cases people who are leading unfulfilled, sad lives who want to vent out their frustration by blasting random strangers. Do you really need to take the opinions of such people seriously? 2. Distinguish between constructive and destructive criticism. Let’s get real, no one likes criticism. But do we need it in some doses? Yes, we do! Not just on the internet but also in your personal life, taking criticism and working on your flaws is the best way to grow. The trick is to recognize whether the criticism is constructive or destructive. For example, a comment telling me to work on my accent and pronunciation is constructive for me, because I know it will help me improve my diction. On the other hand, a comment posted with the sole aim of body shaming me doesn’t need to be taken seriously. I can chalk it up to an unhappy person nit picking someone else to avoid acknowledging and addressing the things they don’t like about themselves and their own life. 3. Joke about it. A trick that I learnt pretty soon into my breakdown was to stop taking things too seriously! I have a couple of close friends with whom I sit and read all the negative comments written about me and have a good laugh! (If you need a little help finding the funny in the mean, Google “celebrities read mean tweets.” When you don’t take the hate personally, you can’t help but laugh at some of it!) 4. Weed out negativity. If at any point you feel that a person is getting too much for you to handle just weed them out. It’s very easy to do this on the internet, you simply block them from all possible platforms, and VOILA! Bye-bye negativity! This might be slightly more difficult when dealing with people who are in your life on a day-to-day basis. But if a person regularly tries to pull you down, it’s not worth keeping them in your life anyway. 5. Open up. Talk to your community and you’ll realize that everyone is dealing with hate in some form or other. What helped me the most is watching funny YouTube videos, where YouTubers answer back to hateful comments on their videos. Superwoman is one of my favorite YouTubers, and her video answering back to her haters was a savior for me. Not only does this put a humorous spin on the situation, it reminds you that everyone is facing this in today’s world, which makes it easier to deal with, because you realize it truly isn’t personal, no matter how personal it seems. Irrespective of how you choose to deal with the hate that is thrown your way, never be afraid to be absolutely and unabashedly yourself. Some will love it, some will hate it, but you don’t have to let their opinions get you down!
