My simple principles of making your time online a bit happier.
Read the whole post or thread.
Ask questions kindly.
Remember that not every post is for you.
You don't need to reply.
Don't worry what others think.
Write your own posts.
Speak with good motivation.
Let go of seeking praise.
Let go of avoiding blame.
Don't let others decide your worth.
You don't need to reply.
Sometimes when we're replying it's because either we think something is wrong and we need to tell them, or we think we have information that they need to hear from us. Most of the time those kind of replies are unnecessary, unhelpful, and we end up in arguments, disagreements, and misunderstandings because of them. Practice just reading, listening, sharing, and not replying. It's hard but when you let go of that need to reply it can free you.
Speak with good motivation.
If we speak with good motivation we're doing our best to be honest, share our perspective, and inspire. Even if we do some people will still be unhappy with what we say. Instead of worrying about that we can aim to work on our own motivation.
Let go of seeking praise.
Let go of avoiding blame.
Treat it like weather, a lovely cloud passing in the sky. Compliments and praise show up, and go away. Hear the praise and be nourished by it when it affirms you and then let it go. Don't chase it, don't lose yourself.
Be willing to learn from important feedback. But treat it like weather also, a little rain cloud passing that helps things to grow and then it's gone. Listen, learn, and let it go. Don't try to avoid it, don't lose yourself.
