Ask Claire: How Do You Deal With Criticism from Social Media?

Hey Lovelies!
I’m running so late to get my makeup done for the No Basics Brunch, but wanted to write this Ask Claire post really quickly!
A lot of people ask me, “How do You Deal with criticism from social media?”
This question definitely came up last night from friends, who took a look at a few comments Instagrammers left on my recent #OOTD.

I was basically roasted on my own platform, with many saying my skirt was too tight, the slit was too high, etc. Over 3,000 ‘likes’ and hundreds of comments later, people are still going in (check it out for yourself).

What can I say? Sometimes you hit, sometimes, you miss. It happens to the best of us. I personally like my outfit! LOL.

But in all honesty, I’m SO GLAD I didn’t grow up in the internet era. It’s rough out there, and if you’re not confident and sure of yourself, it’s easy to let people get to you. I post pix of myself online all the time, and I’ve developed a thick skin. Yes, the comments used to sting, but after being called obese, a cow, Johnny Bravo-esque, I mean the list goes on…little hurts me anymore. And hey: I know it’s not true!

It’s takes skin like armor to put yourself out there, but I’ve gained a lot more than I’ve lost by a few mean comments. It’s never that serious. Most comments actually make me giggle!
Anyway, I’m off to put on yet another outfit for another event.
Stay tuned for pix here or on FBD!
Boom!
