RE: Dear Steemians - I upvote comments!
I am in the process of trying to get my friends to convert to a more positive social media platform. It's emotionally draining for me to go on FB, even though I want to connect with friends. I have found myself doing a mantra before going on other platforms to remind myself to block out the negative energy. I hope Steemit can become the platform of positivity in this social media landscape that can be so negative at times! Connecting is superior to dividing :)
I just had a realization that all the negativity is something that I am just perceiving. I'm looking at others words and not listening for their feelings... A nice little lesson for all that I think Adam would agree with is, listen to feelings instead of getting caught up in the words that people use to express those feelings. I would like to realize more often that people are not meaning to communicate negativity, just that they are poor at communicating how they feel.
