Who tells people not to read comments? Sticks and stones will break my bones. But words will never harm me. It was true 150 years ago when it was allegedly written and its still true today, but people seem to forget this. Nowadays its safe spaces, trigger warnings and other attempts to isolate oneself from the rest of the world. The attitude online is changing for the worse. Read comments, ignore those that just post insults (though even comments that contain insults can contain value even for self growth), answer the good ones. It may sound harsh but in the end the pain you feel are of your own making. Easier said than done but it is good to remember.
