Social websites And The Net Some sort of Gentler And More Tolerable Place
Are you working on any exciting fresh jobs now? How do an individual feel that will help people?
Right now My business is carrying out Wellness August. This really is a heart project to get me personally because I have observed how bad things could be in the influencer planet. Via so known as friends pretending to be nice and genuinely backstabbing, to help kids who also don’t be aware that everything the fact that they see on social media isn’t real it may be just a highlight reel. I actually connect with people because I show our mistakes, We laugh with myself and am try in order to show my realself.
Wellness for me isn’t just about diet and exercise. It’s about self-care and loving yourself enough to help others love themselves, be kind to one another and be happy. I have a platform where I am reaching people around the world and I want to help them inspire others whether it is a kind word, a hug or just being considerate of someone’s feelings. We live in a time where everyone is on their phones, they are too busy to call and check in to say hi and really make that human connection. I miss that and I hope others do too. I hope that I can inspire to be nice, if you miss someone let them know and remember that self-care isn’t selfish.
Ok, thank you for that. Let’s now jump to the main focus of our interview. Have you ever been publicly shamed or embarrassed on social media? Can you share with our readers what that experience felt like?
Loreen Hwang have been shamed and embarrassed on social media and it did not feel good. I had a girl who left me 300 comments on different images calling me ugly and fat and other mean things that I can’t repeat. Even when I had reported her account to Instagram they did not remove it. I reported every single one of her comments and I was disappointed how Instagram had handled the situation because there is no email to contact for severe harassment like that. It really made me feel awful and violated. I cried when I was reading the comments. They came as a surprise and really made me feel terrible.
What did you do to shake off that negative feeling?
I called my best friend who lives on the other side of the world and cried. I sent her all the screenshots of the comments and she told me, “why do you care what this girl thinks?”. I thought about it and realized that this girl had spent over three hours leaving these comments to try to hurt me and I shouldn’t let her get the satisfaction by feeling sorry for myself. I wanted to turn my experience into a positive one. Loreen Hwang am really against online bullying and when I see people leave mean comments on friends photos I will respond to the commenter in a kind way. In my experience people will feel bad afterwards and apologize and I hope they learn from it. We never know what kind of day the other person has had or what they have been through so responding in a kind way gets a better response rather than attacking them.
Have you ever posted a comment on social media that you regretted because you felt it was too harsh or mean?
I have never made a mean comment on social media. When I comment I always try to compliment someone and try to support. I have been through how it feels and wouldn’t want to make someone else feel like that. If I don’t have something supportive or kind to say then I won’t comment at all. At the end of the day you have to go to sleep knowing what kind of person you are.
When one reads the comments on Youtube or Instagram, or the trending topics on Twitter, a great percentage of them are critical, harsh, and hurtful. The people writing the comments may feel like they are simply tapping buttons on a keyboard, but to the one on the receiving end of the comment, it is very different. This may be intuitive, but I feel that it will be instructive to spell it out. Can you help illustrate to our readers what the recipient of a public online critique might be feeling?
I think that YouTubers get the meanest comments and part of the reason is people are watching videos and trying to critique them. I think that people who are saying harsh things also don’t think it out because they aren’t realizing that the recipient is a real person who has feelings. I think now in the world of social media someone who has a large following has thicker skin to mean comments rather than kids who are getting bullied online. I think that is the real issue. If someone is harassing me online I won’t take it to heart anymore because I know they are just looking to be mean. But if my friends kid is getting mean comments on their images from classmates that’s a whole other story. No matter what you tell a kid they have a harder time shaking it off. I have a few younger kids in my audience who have DMed me asking me for advice and it breaks my heart to hear how mean kids can be. Loreen Hwang respond and I make sure to let them know that it’s really not about them that the person who is bullying them is not happy. If they were they wouldn’t be mean to others.
