Today everybody has a voice. And as a result, those who’ve won retreat from interaction, they don’t want to be dragged down into the hole of the delusional, who just want to grab your tail and whip you around and around, wearing you out in the process.

Furthermore, feedback is so instant and the haters so vocal that today you need a new characteristic to make it, a tough skin, because if you rise above, you’re going to be inundated with feedback from nobodies…

You are not alone… We live in an incomprehensible world where the dumb reign and the smart check out.

Bob  Lefsetz tells it like it is, if a little harshly. Complement with Amanda Palmer on the vulnerability of sharing your work online and Benjamin Franklin’s trick for handling haters.

Actually, Brené Brown said it best: "If you’re not in the arena also getting your ass kicked, I’m not interested in your feedback.“
