Hey, wanted to respond to your comment because mine could come off as unhealthy.

I simply mean that I'm old enough, have experienced enough that there are very few people in the world that can say something which I haven't already been told or I haven't imagined myself. Some rando on the net can't possibly hurt.

But yeah, I don't mean to suggest suppressing your feelings.

Respectfully I don't really agree that this is a thing. There is an element of discerning that a person is just a jerk, misguided, dumb, or just shitposting without consequence due to anonymity or whatever and learning to disregard their opinions as irrelevant. That is, a lot of internet randos fall into this category.

But I also think if people don't trigger a warning as someone worth shunning that their criticism affects us, especially irl.
