W is for Willingness...
When creating a presence in cyberspace you have to have a willingness to know that there will be naysayers out there that feel comfortable “bashing” others from the comfort behind their keyboards. Ignore them I say and take the willing step in remaining positive and repelling their negative energy. Let them spiral down that black hole of negativity as you willingly side step them and come out glowing.
Do you have a willingness to repel the naysayers? If yes,
what do you do to repel them?

Just ignore them and move on.
ReplyDeleteGreat advice!
DeleteI agree with Alex - you need to ignore them on move on. Although, there are times when I still get caught up in the negativity for a while before I remember to move on.
ReplyDeleteCheers - Ellen
Amen to moving on!
DeleteThe advice is "Don't feed the trolls". Although there are some that are persistent. =( A friend had someone leave a troll comment once and she gave the sweetest reply with smily faces. The troll didn't come back.

Love it, Don't feed the trolls!
DeleteI just had occasion to deal with one of these. I tried a reasonable exchange with one email, but dropped it as soon as I saw the doubled angry reply. Too many wonderful people out there to put any time into those who are so ready to be snarky,
ReplyDeleteGlad you disengaged before it got too heated. So not worth it!
ReplyDeleteI do not like when people bash others. It is okay to have differing opinions, but these need to be expressed in a constructive and thoughtful matter.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you full heartedly!
DeleteI've really only had naysayers in the form of judges in blog contests. Those sting.
