Do you eagerly approach them and put them in their place? Do you roll your eyes and ignore it? Do you let it get to you? Or do you reply with grace and accept it but correct them?
This is my blog, my home, my site but sometimes I feel I need somewhere else to purge my immature nagging thoughts and to just eradicate the negativity out and worry less about the little things.
I talked about this in another post, well two really. I'll list them below for your reference. I welcome feedback if it helps me grow as a person and a blogger..
But I refuse to be laughed out and present for your amusement and solely to watch me stumble and fail!

I've just recently had a reply sent to me and it's not appreciated or welcome.
"Mildly amused to see where you go, so I think I'll follow you." There was more but only that line stands out for me.
Yes my mood can change in an instant and maybe in a small way I'm too flighty with platforms?
I possibly could have given them more time to discover me but I'm happy with my decision to quit them and try others.
If he had said something like, "You need to take a breath, instead of being so impatient" or some words of encouragement like..
"Perseverance is key in situations like these. Just keep at it and your efforts will be paid off hopefully."
It would feel more as though he was supporting me. Instead of pointing, laughing and talking down to me.
I'm not a fan of confrontation for the sake of it. It will stress me out and I'll over analyse my points to make sure they are valid.
I could just say my piece and block afterwards but I just refuse to do that. He'll just end up laughing harder so instead I will share with you what I would have replied.
'You are not a blogger are you? I can tell because you only use one platform, whereas I am trying to find something more lively and that entails facing rejection and processing feelings that subsequently follow.
I'm not here to fill your boredom as some sort of performing clown you can poke fun at as though I have no feelings.
Go elsewhere for your shallow entertainment. At least I have the good sense to be courteous to others and show them respect. You patronising so and so!"
(I really want to swear at him but on second thoughts. He is not worth it).
I'm a sensitive person who grew up being at the centre of everyone's insults. That's why I have zero tolerance for it.
I surround myself with positivity now and I'm not afraid to admit my faults, there are many but I own them and I am trying each day to be better and people like him reverse that!
The worse part of it, was that he kept on messaging me and refusing to take responsibility for his entire approach.
There was no apology or remorse, there was confusion and proclamations of innocence. If that was me and I realised, something I said had hurt someone.
I would have apologised profusely and said that was not my intention at all but there was no respect in his manner, so he just continued bombarding me with messages, which I didn't read.
Lift people up, be their cheering squad. Don't step on them and keep them down.
