Slight Depression

I don't handle criticism well, it's just a part of how I was raised. I don't accept it well, and I slightly break down.

I run a vlog channel on youtube, and I've recently gotten a lot of backlash for something I said two months ago. I'm really getting sad and depressed over the things some people are saying about me, and I don't know how to handle it.

A big part of me just wants to cry, but that doesn't seem productive because they're only people on the internet, it's not like their opinion of me in real life has any merrit, but in so many ways, it still makes me sad.

It is easy for people to be critical on internet postings. The anonymity of the internet seems to promote more negativity that what might be received in personal venues.

Try to look at it this way .... You can't please everyone all of the time ... and you said it yourself that the people are distanced by the internet and really have no value in your life.

I agree with rbkwp and want to tell you to take heart, and trust the judgement of your friends... you know... the ones who really know you.
 
James you impress me in many ways from reading your posts. Sure you are absolutely gorgeous, hung like a pony, and haveth body of a god, but your heart and mind are what really shine. I know criticism hurts, but try a few things. First, go to your love. Let him help remind you of your value, and why you are special. Next let your friends support you. Let them give you a boost to counter-act the negativity short sighted and mean people who have nothing better to do than bring outer people down. Finally, as you have a personal relationship with God, talk with him. Have an intimate conversation with him, and pour your heart out. He is a great listener, and he will send you the message and strength you need to get through it. If I could I would give you a big hug, then a quick spank for letting people who are lesser than you take you down. You are better than that and them, and there is lots of evidence to prove it! I wish I had a tenth going on for myself that you have going for you. You seem to be an amazing young man, so feel free to feel amazing :) Take care, and if you want to talk about it, please let me know. Be good to yourself!
