Dear Jessica,
I like what you wrote. Welcome to Medium! And thank you for reading! :-) You’re not alone, I too sometimess feel I’m too sensitive, but not for social media…for the world. And yet I press on regardless, knowing that my work is simply to absorb wisdom and beauty, and share it. The strife, I have learned over time to absorb that too, digest it, and do what I call “going into the dark to make light.”
From my experience here on Medium, there is little to no trollage. At least I have encountered none (which doesn’t mean it isn’t out there.) but like you said: should we really pay mind to those who don’t know us?
I enjoyed you post, and didn’t know the Idles. Will listen and share my feelings. Thank you for this! :-)
Yours, with Love,
Pedro.
