Before You Leave That Hateful Comment
They Are Human Beings, Too
After so many days, I found myself scrolling through reels out of boredom, while completely ignoring the comment sections.
Trust me, even opening the comment section feels like a daunting task to me, as if it will take a lot of strength.
And it does take strength to stop myself from replying to every hateful comment with, “Please focus on your own life.”
But honestly, I do feel sad for celebrities, actors, and all those people whose jobs require them to spend so much of their time in front of a camera.
Yes, they are living the kind of lifestyle that some of us can only imagine, but they are human beings, too. They can be sensitive.
Imagine seeing obnoxious comments about your age, weight, gender, character, and clothing choices, abusive remarks about your relationships, and even threats against your children.
Sometimes, I can’t help but wonder, how would the people making such awful comments feel if the same words were directed at them and their families?
Would they like it? Would it make them feel good?
Of course not.
They would feel hurt, just as any other human being would. So why don’t they think twice…
