In a recent livestream chat with her fans, Ghanaian actress and media personality, Nana Ama McBrown talked about how she handled criticism and public pressure on social media.
In response to a question about how she handles public criticism, McBrown said she had the mental toughness to handle hate on social media.
Her strategy is to welcome positive input while disregarding negative ones, highlighting the significance of differentiating between well-informed criticism and unfounded beliefs.
“If you are someone who cannot read and sees it as rubbish or something sensible, then you will be depressed. You must see the difference. Here, everybody speaks their mind; everybody sees their opinion as facts,“ she explained.
McBrown emphasized the difficulties in coping with trolls and critics on social media and the need of self-awareness in preventing the negative consequences of online criticism.
“Sometimes you may not be in a good mood, but they don’t care and still criticize you. You can’t explain it to everybody. You can’t always reply to that person who insulted you. So know yourself. If the person isn’t bringing anything positive to your life, ignore it.”
