ADVICE

Dealing with Criticism Online

Summary: Lauryn and Michael Bosstick discuss navigating criticism online, emphasizing the importance of owning mistakes, focusing on genuine apologies, and not wasting energy on things outside one's control. They also highlight the resilience of online personalities, noting that true "cancellation" is rare, and encourage creators to zoom out from negativity and appreciate their supportive audience.

  • 🔑 Own Your Mistakes: If you make a misstep online, own up to it and apologize if you're genuinely sorry. Avoid empty apologies that lack sincerity.
  • 🔋 Conserve Your Energy: Don't waste energy on things you can't control, like online criticism. Focus on your reactions and your own message.
  • 🪞 Perspective is Key: Zoom out. Recognize that criticism is inevitable, and don't let it consume you. Focus on the people who support you.
  • 🗣️ Authenticity Resonates: People connect with authenticity. Don't try to play all sides or hedge your views. A strong point of view, even if it attracts criticism, resonates more.
  • 💪 Callous Your Brain: Every time you put yourself out there, you become more resilient to criticism. It gets easier with each exposure.
  • 💖 Focus on the Positive: Instead of dwelling on negativity, appreciate your audience and their support. This helps maintain perspective and motivation.

Key Takeaway: Focus your energy on what you can control—your actions, your message, and your response to criticism. Remember, genuine connection with your audience is more valuable than trying to please everyone.
