YouTube Comments. I am always learning something

Since starting YouTube, I always enjoy receiving comments. I used to loathe a negative comment, but as the years have passed, I actually appreciate them.

People tell me all sorts of things. And as far as the negative comments go, they range from attacks on my channel to making fun of how I speak with a tracheostomy tube to general hatred. I usually allow all comments unless it is a vile off-the-wall comment. Attacks against me, I mostly leave up to allow others to see what I have to deal with while being a YouTube vlogger. The one exception is if the original comment elicits one or more replies from other YouTube viewers which are not kind. Slander gets deleted.

 

As for the negative comments, I read them and think about them. If someone took the time to post something, there is usually a grain of truth in his words. I use the comment to try to change my character and become a better person.

Recently, someone said I appear to be passive aggressive. I was unsure what this term meant. I looked up the meaning and laughed. I may be many things, but being passive aggressive is not one of them.

I do not like to be angry or mean-spirited. I try my hardest to give people the benefit of the doubt. If someone does do something against me, I try hard to move on. I like the scripture verse, “Love covers a multitude of sins” (1 Peter 4:8). I try to love people and appreciate even the bad things which may have arisen due to the person’s actions or words. I remember the Scripture verse, “God works all things for good” (Romans 8:28).

The one thing I wish I could change about the world is people being mean. I know I cannot change the world, but I can change myself. I try every day to be kind and to rid my character of anything which is not full of love, peace, joy and kindness. However, after reading the comment that I appear passive aggressive, I will work even harder on my character to be a better person.
