Yes, it is true that we teach folks how to treat us....but that does not include strangers. And a lot of people on social media are acquaintances or strangers, with keyboard courage, and they type it out on you.

The folks attacking you and not the original poster--hmmm....have they attached you before? Do they see you as easy pickin'?

It really helps to develop thick social media skin, too. If someone called you a cardboard box--would you get upset? No, because you know you are not a cardboard box.... So if someone attacks something you reposted from another post--they are telling you about themselves, not you. Some folks feed on negative---let them go. Really, the nay-sayers are so not worth it.

Also, on social media everyone is 'invited' to give their opinions. So, it is socially acceptable. If you only want agreement, then social media is not the place to talk because invariable there will be someone who wants to debate. If folks go to far, report them, and block them. You don't need them.

I don't know if that helps--I hope so. I have two nay-sayers who always have something to say about anything I post. I ignore them--and now, it seems, othr people are noticing that they are constantly poking--and I am not feeding it. Good feeling, when folks see that. I wish you well.
