This goes out specifically to the haters, and “not to be mean but..” commenters on my “How To Be An Extrovert Project”. This may get a little heated, but I need to share my opinion on this. So here we go.. I’m gonna be honest with you guys, it takes a lot to make me angry, but this really has been bothering me. My entire page is focused on helping others become the best version of themselves, and helping my supporters out on things they need. I present positive energy, reinforcement, and affirmation anytime that I am able. And I really do try to stay patient, but the amount of hate I have received has truly hurt me. The “How to be An Extrovert” project is one that was requested 3 times by my followers, prior to me gaining any recognition. It was one that I had been working on in February of last year, but didn’t get the chance to post until March. I made it to satisfy the needs of others, and make my followers happy. Never once did I have any bad intentions, and I even included a disclaimer. So many comments automatically made assumptions about my project without even reading the included disclaimer, and it really hurt. All I am trying to do, and all I have ever tried to do, was help other people. I don’t think anyone deserves that much hate, especially if they had the intentions that I had. But regardless of that, so many people wrote hateful comments, with a “ not trying to be rude” at the front of it. I hope you realize that saying that doesn’t change whether or not your comment was hateful. Every single comment I received with that caption made me feel so sad. And I really don’t think I deserve it. I try so hard in my projects to make you guys happy and as said in my project note, the title of the project isn’t something I can change at this point. This is because the project was shared a year ago, and I no longer have the editable file for the thumbnail, and additionally, in order for me to fix that, i would have to take down the project. Which would repost it, and boost it on the trending page, and I would then receive hate for reposting. There is no way to win. And I don’t think that everyone meant to be hateful, but I also didn’t mean to be disrespectful. I love introverts, I love ambiverts, I love extroverts, I love all personality types. I do understand that you can’t change your personality, and I never said you had to. Though I do believe I made it clear in the disclaimer, that I was not trying to be rude. So many people typed these long paragraphs telling me why I was disrespectful, and rude, and awful, and should take it down. That hurt, I wanted to cry tbh w u. No one deserves that, and it’s hard to fully understand how bad it hurts until it happens to you. You really should think about how you would feel receiving that comment, before you post it. Especially if the creator has already received so many comments like that. Saying that you aren’t trying to be mean, doesn’t take away how that comment makes people feel. If I hurt someone by that project, I am so sorry. I was trying to do the complete opposite, as it was a requested project. But I really did not mean to hurt anyone. To all the people who said something kind, ty, u made me feel not so bad, and I truly needed that. Please comment any response u may have to this rant. I want to make sure that everything is cleared up in hopes we can move on and stop the hate. Tysm for listening to my rant, Ily and u r an icon <33 Ellie ^^
