This may seem like a lot, but remember the weight that even one negative comment can carry.

When you are with negative people, be on the offensive.

Understand that even if they dont say discouraging things, their negative mindset may rub off on you.

Dont go looking for confirmation and inspiration.

Then find a support connection that can inspire you.

Of course, this doesnt mean that you should assume your fans are always right.

Theres a time for accepting constructive criticism and your haters may havejust as many good pointsas your fans.
