Jeff Langmaid, a chiropractor, shares how he handles brutal online criticism, including from his Joe Rogan appearance. He cries sometimes, but mostly ignores vile commenters and occasionally replies with empathy to legitimate concerns. The key: thick skin and refusing to engage with people just looking for a fight.
Chapters
How do you handle overdo yourself up criticism? You both suck on mine. I go and cry in my closet. If anybody wants to see something that they never want to see again, go to the Joe Rogan video of mine on YouTube and look at the comments and you will shed a tear for me. It's the most vile hatred you've ever seen in your life. That's the public for you. So the thing with it is, is this is that it's not pleasurable, it's not fun, but you just got to have a thick skin and move on. I don't think there's ever a really. Occasionally you'll see me chime back in. If somebody's being like, halfway decent but just is like, hey, man, like, my dad got hurt by a chiropractor. I might be like, sorry to hear that. Like, I'm not going to be like, oh, man, like, but if somebody's just being vile, my thing is no response. I just don't think it's. I'm too busy. I have too much other stuff to do. If they want to contribute to the conversation, cool. If not, to me, I'm like, if you've posted here 20 times and everything is a criticism of me, you. You actually don't want to have a conversation. You're here to either build your audience or try to act like a hero. I'll give you a couple, but after that, I'm good.
