reading mean comments about my mermaid videos

Courtney Mermaid reading a particularly nasty comment telling her she needs to lose weight.
There are a lot of good sides to enjoying mermaiding as a hobby/profession, but occasionally social media likes to make you rethink all your life choices...

People really do have some nerve saying the things they do on social media.

Over the years I have learned a few tricks to help me navigate these icky waters:
  1. Constantly update your blocked words as new inappropriate or mean comments pop up.
  2. Don't be afraid to block people!!
  3. Have an outlet or someone you can talk to about what you are experiencing on your social media accounts.
  4. Don't take it personally. You never know who you are potentially dealing with, it could be that someone's kid got a hold of their phone and decided to have some fun... It happens more often than you would think. 🙃
  5. Stand up for yourself! If you feel safe to do so, stand up for yourself. There should be consequences for poor behavior online. If you have the means to educate someone then do it. That said, pick your battles. Not everyone is going to give a hoot and there are some people that are better off blocked.
​Reading the best MEAN comments I have received so far on my viral Instagram mermaid videos (reels). PIG OF THE SEA is a personal favourite of mine so far. 🙄
Some people genuinely don't have a clue that what they are saying is actually read by a PERSON and that words can hurt.

Remember to put yourself first. Your opinion of you is the only opinion that actually matters at the end of the day so don't take to heart the nasty things people say. (Did I just make a rhyme?)

All that said I hope you found my video entertaining and I look forward to catching you all again in my next one!

Happy Swimming!
