Hey,
I wanted to talk to you about something I've been noticing lately in your revo. Tbh, I was a bit reluctant to say anything at first, cuz it’s your space and entirely your decision how you choose to handle things. Please don't take this as criticism or feel like I'm scolding you at all.
It genuinely breaks my heart to see you responding to those short, mean spirited hate comments with such thoughtful, deeply felt paragraphs. Your responses are always so articulate and full of depth, but the reality is that the people leaving them aren't looking for a meaningful dialogue. They just want to provoke a reaction and drain your energy.
I can tell you’ve been dealing with this kind of toxicity for years. If engaging with them gives you some form of peace, closure, or even amusement, then I completely support how you choose to handle it. But if any part of it ever feels exhausting or frustrating, please know that you don't owe them a single word.
Your words make such an incredible difference to me, and I just want to make sure you're protecting your energy. Sending you so much love and support as always!
I am a full believer in "don't feed a fire" so the messages I responded to, I chose to with reason.
I had much more messages that have been ignored, deleted, or screenshot'ed. They are much worse in their ignorance, nastiness, and threats.
But, occasionally I'll have a response that I feel hits harder than avoidance... or brings awareness to others dealing with the same thing that you don't have to attack back with insults.. or cower.. you stand ground with facts and honesty.
In my opinion, nothing can truly touch you if your truth is already out there. The comments might hurt for a little bit.. but that's natural.
I have a feeling this is one or two people.. and they've been attacking my friends as well, commenting on their stories or dipping into their alter/revo to harass them about me. I stated it on my twitter, which you don't have, but I can take any form of hate given to me, I just won't tolerate the hate meant for me to be aimed at my friends.
Thank you for checking in on me and your worry. I had hoped my responses to the anons proved I didn't need saving, but I'm glad I have people in my court.
