Yeah, what they think. May be this is what we call “crab mentality”. Whenever anyone is doing something good, they just want to comment on it. Hmmm… I am writing this post because I get constant comments from my friends (not on the blog though). Some say I am doing a great job, some say you are wasting your time instead you would have studied so much in that time, or the main reason I am writing this post, You don’t know how to write. Now that was the worst best comment I ever got! You know, you come to my blog, you read the posts and comment what you feel. Yeah! You feel good about my writing and sometimes criticize me (that’s why this blog is still alive, and many more are in the pipeline!). But the real thing is, the real thing which I get to know about what I write is through these type of comments (You don’t know how to write!).
I am not saying that your comments are not worth it, but I’m telling that those are the people who tell me how m I doing. By receiving negative comments, or criticism or whatever you wanna call that, I feel a 200 times more fired up and I want to write more posts right at that moment! Which I write too in my notebook dedicated for such kind of writing! 
Though those writings will never ever be published here, they will remain with me all the time. They are the best things that I’ve ever written. I sometimes read my old posts and just edit them, make them more awesome, smooth, and great! And you know what? I’ve edited the first post a 20 times! Yeah, I also can’t believe that!
But the real thing is, those people who wanted to discourage me by saying that, got literally slapped on the face when they will read this post! Because all this diary stuff is still secret!
“Crab mentality” has worked out for me! Really. And it can work for you too! And, I’m not going to say how. Because as I say always, No two persons are alike! So go, when you get such type of comments just make them your strengths! All the weaknesses will runaway and you’ll feel satisfied with what you are! Trust me, have fun. Don’t worry about future and don’t worry about past! Just replace fear with faith, and feel the magic!
Thanks for reading!

Manav,
Keep doing what you’re doing. The thing about people who criticize you in a negative manner is this: whatever they criticize, exists in them. Deep down under their bravado they feel themselves to be a terrible writer, or some other aspect of their personality is terrible.
Why else would they feel the urge to knock you down?
Use it for fire, and remember that the people who really matter will provide suggestions instead of criticism.

Thanks for the link buddy!
Hey Ryan! Thanks for stopping by!! Your presence and your comments always make me feel good!
Thanks for telling me. I was just thinking that.
But sometimes criticism helps a lot, as in my case!
Thanks for reading! Cheers!!
Keep up the good work.
Writing is good to get thoughts on paper. Reading other people’s work will help you get the grammar and word order and all that as it should be. It all depends on which part of yourself or your thoughts you are trying to express.
Hey thanks! Thanks for commenting by the way! Yeah reading others is surely a good thing and it helps a lot too!
Screw them!! Write what you feel like writing… cuz it’s your blog and about your feelings!!
People who don’t know how to do something themselves criticize others doing the same thing!!
Ohh and thanks for the link!!
Keep writing ‘cuz there are people who care!

Hey Ankita!
But it will more complicate things as they’re my own friends! But you know, I don’t get angry. On the other hand, I get really motivated by that, that’s why I keep that little notebook with me!
Yeah, screwing them is a really good idea!
Thanks for your kind words!
Keep doing what you’re doing! Don’t worry about others!
Hey Magali! See you after a long time.
Yeah that’s why I am doin that!
Thanks for commenting!
Learning how to deal with adversity is just as important as learning how to express yourself well. Both experiences are of great value………Namaste
Hey James!
Yeah I agree that learning to deal with adversity is as important as dealing on how to express yourself. Because when you learn to deal with adversity you have a feeling to express it in some way or the other. Some people share it with their friends, family or write it down for themselves as I do!
Thanks for stopping by!
Great going, Manav! I am happy for you that you can get inspired and motivated from literally, anything! Usually criticism can hurt a sensitive person quite badly…but you seem to be a pretty brave person..!
One word of caution – Don’t think every criticism you receive is worthless. Learn from your mistakes.. It will help you go a long, long way!
ALL THE BEST, buddy!
Hey Parth! Glad that you stopped by!
I don’t take any criticism worthless, as it is very motivating.

Thanks man!
good one man
i wish i was not bound by this time constraint
Writing has always been a passion for me aswell
but i am pathetic when it comes to grammar
and it definitely needs time to improve
lets see where the sands of time takes me
may be someday i will quit everything and devote all the time to writing
Life is long and journey worth many a experiments
Thanks again Mayank! Really, everyone in this world is bound by time, but the thing is we need to take time-out for writing stuff. This really helps.
Yup life is long and worth living! Thanks again!!
