whatever the reaction, he's factually wrong about one thing... you're an excellent writer. It's a rare skill and ChatGPT will never be able to write like you.
I’ll have to disagree with this one! While being unnecessarily mean for the sake of meanness should not be a thing (eg. Bullying), I think taking this “let’s be nice to everyone and never say anything that can remotely come off as mean to others” is what is making our societal bonds dwindle. This person clearly did a faux-pas by answering your story and probably should have addressed you directly if he had criticism—receiving unsolicited negative feedback is never nice—but it’s moments like this that also open our eyes to our own flaws and push us to do some soul-searching and improve ourselves. Additionally, I think this one helluva way to learn who to weed out from our life and know who is blocking our blessings with negative energy!
If everybody was just constantly praising everybody, nothing would work and nothing would improve. Social media and modern culture have certainly exacerbated this issue. My favorite motto is “bring shame and criticism back”. I think if we were more honest and open about these sorts things, it would make us all better.
Thanks for the thorough feedback. You know i love it when you interact with me haha.
I agree with half of your take on this. I do think there's a difference in providing feedback with the intention of helping someone improve; and then there's just shit-talking for fun/boredom/jealousy etc. To your point, he could have reached out to me directly since he knows me. But as he said in his apology message, he was following me and consuming my content out of parasocial "cynicism" -- which is a fancier/convoluted way of saying: he likes to follow me because he likes to hate on me. The question i'm posing is, why do people do this? What is the point? Especially in a world where there's no shortage of meanness. We can be constructive without being mean. And he was mean, plain and simple. Not direct or constructive. His response didn't help me with my writing at all, but yes, it did help me see who he really is as a person. So maybe that part was helpful lol.
PersonallyI haven't seen shame work that well. It might temporarily effect change on a shallow level, but it just breeds resentment. And the impact is lost. However, I do agree with you -- false praise doesn't get us anywhere.
1) I came here to write “ChatGPT-levels of well-written”! 😆Funny how painfully obvious it is to spot ChatGPT writing
2) I really love your posts! We don’t know each other but I really appreciate your vulnerability and the openness in your posts. I look forward to every one.
