Full confession time: I’m not shy or socially anxious in real life. I’m a relatively happy extravert. But... anything remotely negative, if addressed to me online, turns me into an epic mess of despair and tears. Something as ubiquitous as sarcastic tweets or negative reblogs is sheer emotional pain, making me want to swear off whatever platform offended me and just hide from the world. I once cried for 8 hours after a post of mine went viral and inevitably generated a few nay-sayers along with thousands of positive reposts.
I’ve never heard of a problem like this. Social media is 98% of modern life, but it’s like hot claws to me. I feel crippled by this problem. I don’t know what’s wonderful in my brain that makes me this way, but I’m an aspiring writer and I HAVE to brave social media in order to hope to market myself. It’s an annoying issue, to say the least. Has anyone heard of a problem like mine? Any ideas how to overcome it? |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
