Technically we are all living in the world that no one understands us or tries to put effort to understand us. They will make all sort of questions to let us feel down, to let us think what we are doing is wrong, is abnormal. It's not. Just because it's something they don't do doesn't mean what we are doing is weird , wrong or inappropriate

Somehow human were all born with the instinct of trying to be better, or at least feel or think that they better than the others. Thus, their natural reaction when seeing something is to make negative comments in order to push the others down in order to make themselves superior. They are too afraid of “losing” that they can’t try to understand or or sympathize.

There will be times we want to do things we like and are stopped or judge by the others. It’s not something like “going to the moon”, it could just be pursuing our favorite career or dressing up in our own style. They would stop us and give us hateful comments, not because it doesn’t suit us, just because it doesn’t suit them or doesn’t appear to be similar to what they often perceive.

A very simple thing is taking food photos, a tiny thing that I thought no one would make it a big deal but no. They would give me a judgement look, glance, or worse, some comment as soon as I take out the camera. People would be like “wait til she finishes taking picture, the food is already too cold", “Don't you feel heavy carrying your camera around, I wouldn't do it." Haha I feel like you're very hilarious, would you tell a photographer to not carry a thousand-dollar camera and use phone to take photos instead?

I consider myself a(n) (amateur) food photographer rather than just a food blogger because I think of food as an art, I like to create and design food; I like to observe rather than to absorb it. I'm a food blogger, a social media influencer. But it doesn’t matter what I try to explain to them that it’s my hobby and I enjoy it, they would go on telling me that they would rather be eating than taking food photos because it's too much effort. I wish I could say I would rather be a cool me who follows my passion than someone who just conforms to the crowd like them. They can't tell a basketball player that it's better to lie on a couch and watch TV than sweating in the gym, or they can’t tell a fashionista to stop buying clothes or dressing up because it’s waste of money. If we can't give any compliment, then say like "oh cool", try to find the cool factor in the things people do, or just be quiet, no need to give negative comments of better things people should do. I think that's very rude

Regardless of what I am, I think everyone should be respectful to other’s interests. Why don’t you try to find the cool aspect of what people are trying to do than first criticize it. So many times I saw a cool photo or video on Facebook and the comment section is full of hateful words. I tend to think of myself as inferior and perceive everything around me as new, as cool, and as better, if it’s not against humanity. I might have low self-esteem, but it makes me feel that I’m living in a pretty world with cool people. Why can’t a part of the world do that.

I’m writing to let all of you who have been being judged on doing things you like know, no matter what you do who you are there are always people be criticizing us for no reason. They will never stop throwing criticism at you. But as long as they are not contributing any good to your life that can make you happier, you should not be bothered. Follow your passion because that’s what makes you happy. Find the community that suits and supports you. Contrast to the rest of the world, I always have a big food blogger community that share the same interest, same love, and of course same struggle, but they are the people who understand me the most, always inspire and support me.
