work on your self-confidence and self esteem. go check a psychologist.
Flip the table. Anger. Disgust. Judgment. Indifference.
If you want to be nice you can always keep your doors open to resolution. But it makes no sense whatsoever to give away mental and emotional real estate for free to donkeys and assholes. It's simply too valuable and you should cherish it for yourself.
You might think indifference is the weakest of what I've mentioned. But being ignored is extremely painful. Aurelius wrote that this is the default goto if you don't have a witty comeback.
There are 9-10 billion people on this planet.
Among those people, you have countless personal preference based on everything from what they expect to what makes them comfortable based on past experience.
There are also 10% or so with ADHD and other things, changing it up even more.
So run all of that through a computer showing you a majority of the likely outcomes, and there you go. There’s no way that your style, your choice of content, your presentation, how you present the material, etc, will please everyone because it’s impossible to do.
Wish I could help with the strategy. I don't deal with this in any way, I genuinely don't care if someone likes me or not. I actually don't think about it. I understand this can be a problem and mess with one's confidence in a situation like yours, but the numbers speak for themselves - you are in a good place.
around 95% of feedback is positive to very positive.
Don't focus on the ones that don't like you. Focus on the ones that do. Unless there is something constructive in the negative reviews, you can safely ignore them.
I prefer to be liked as opposed to being disliked but I take pride when certain people dislike me
These 5% of negative reviews probably has nothing to do with you. There's always a small amount of people unhappy for random or unrelated reasons (broke up with boy/girlfriend, car broke, etc) and who would write negative reviews no matter what. It's possible they cannot dissociate the course from other things happening in their life. They just happened to be unhappy at that time, and felt like leaving a nasty review.
Are you fucking serious? Did you never get bullied in school as a kid or something? Are you that privileged? What the fuck.
Yep 100% serious. I was bullied quite a bit in school so I’m not sure how you’re drawing this conclusion. Sorry you’re upset though.
