I think you’re doing this long enough to know how to deal with those kinds of people. And that is a really tough skill to improve. If anything, you should give yourself a pat on the back for not having any of it after all this time.

Dealing with people who are angry, jealous, and infinitely negative can really bring you down in the long run. And I think, not just this article, but your writing, in general, tells that you’re really succeding no matter how many haters try to stand in your way.

And yeah, sure, I can’t relate with everything you say or experience, but as you said, there are certain articles or such personal experiences that are not for everybody. I can think anything I want about them, but I won’t needling you just because I don’t have the same issues in my life, or because I see things differently.

I let it go. Simple.

Anyway, thanks for sharing, Shannon! Keep going, keep writing, keep being vulnerable, and keep saying “Fuck you” to the haters!
