One of my videos went viral and trolls got ahold of it. I received so many nasty comments, and it made me anxious and ashamed for days. It's been hard for me to post videos again. How do you handle trolls when they get under your skin and make you feel insecure?
Try and remember to consider the source. You don't know them, they’re not your audience, and they are not worth your time or your tears. This is often so much easier said than done!
Also, know that your audience needs you, and you’re here for a reason. Your community isn’t paying attention to that, and would never be a part of it.
Get in touch with your ‘why’ -- why are you doing this in the first place? Why do you want to show up in this capacity? If you get super clear on what matters most and remind yourself of it every day, it will help to drown out the trolls.
If you can make it happen, getting a coach or a therapist can be helpful for this sort of thing, and so many other things in your business. Entrepreneurship can be a lonely place, so having either a support system or someone you can talk to can make a big difference!
