@RetiredTeacher84 --Please do not internalize negative comments.

Toss them asap and continue focusing on what is vital and important. Understand that toxicity expressed by others is only a symptom of their own deep, dark, unresolved issues--and has nothing whatsoever to do with you.

I've reminded more than a few that they need to recognize their insults and jabs have zero effect on me and others who don't know them or respect them. You know your worth. Neanderthals don't know you or themselves very well. They operate out of fear and desperation and lashing out at others which (as we know) changes nothing.

Carry on and thank you for choosing to be a teacher. Ya'll are next to God in our home. πŸ’™πŸ’žπŸ’™

You’ll do well. Just print my post. Keep it handy. Re-read it whenever.

Also remember how miserable the folks who say and do ugly things really are! Can you imagine what it’s like to work with them? Live with them? Or, (gasp!) be them?

Remember, too, do not respond to hateful commentsβ€”ever. Block the

sender and anyone else who decides to contact you. You are not subject to their jibes so don’t feel like you have to defend yourself. You do not.

Blessings and Sunny Days! We appreciate you!!! πŸ’™πŸ’žπŸ’™
