Lately I have been feeling a bit down. I guess I’ve had a bit of a crisis of confidence. I haven’t been shooting, I’ve left the house twice this whole week. I haven’t returned calls or messages unless I have the energy to do so. I’ve just felt really lost and confused about my abilities to be both a good person, and a talented artist.
I try to put myself out there, because usually the positive comments/criticisms that I get on artworks are what keep me going, they feed my creativity and help me keep producing pictures that I hope everyone can enjoy. And I’m not forcing them down anyone’s throat, so I would of hoped that If someone didn’t enjoy what I was doing, they could just keep scrolling through to the next image and not let it phase them.
But then you get a select few people who seem to feel it is their duty to make rash, negative comments and remarks on an image which I put a lot of effort into, and thought really deeply about. Remarks about my weight, my ideas, and how ugly I am. Someone gave me a patronizing gold star for “trying”.
I admit, they should not bring me down, but on top of everything else that is going on in my life the really hit the nail on the head and buried my confidence in it’s coffin.
I am feeling much better though today and hopefully for a while longer, and while I am at my best I would like to give all the trolls out there a patronizing gold star for trying—— Trying to be funny for their followers- trying to make comments about ‘fat’ girls- trying to put down people’s ideas, when their only good idea thus far was to spend hours of their day trivially commenting on photos they didn’t like instead of being brave thinkers themselves.
I took the time while I am happy to make this comparative chart for myself for when I am feeling down again. It compares some of the negative comments against the amazing comments that brighten my day and keep me going. And these are just from one photograph, The Birth Of Suburbia, which I am very proud of, and which a lot of people actually do like.
My mother always told me, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. That’s a lesson for you all. And also try and think about how your ‘funny’ (not funny at all) comments might be affecting the person on the other side of the image. Internet bullying is exactly what you are doing, and it’s a cowardly, despicable act done by the lowest of low people.
Have a great day Trolls!
Lots of love,
Rosie.
p.s Who is Chantel?
