So I've decided to just blog like after God-knows-how-long-I've-been-away months. And to some of my friends who have followed me since the first time I joined Blogger, they would know that I actually have a previous account (no, actually three accounts in total; the very first one I deleted the whole thing). And I'm still keeping the previous account but I'm just not allowing anyone to see it.
Why?
Well. 'Cause known only by some of the few friends who knew that I have a blog, I've been a victim of cyber-bullying. You see, I used to let people comment freely on my blog, but then I decided to restrict the comment part to those that are moderated by me before being published for the world to see. I do take constructive criticisms, but this incident was wayyy too much. It attacked on me, my private life, instead of the contents I blog about.
I was actually followed by this person (although claimed to be by a group of them, guys specifically) from Blogger to my e-mail account. I mean, come on, seriously? And the extra effort 'they' took to really get to me. See, my comments-restriction thing was actually so restricted that it was only those people who had Blogger accounts who could comment on my blog. So what did 'they' do? 'They' created an account to attack me. The lengths people would go through...
Anyway, my advice to those of you who are victims? Staying strong is essential. When you have a loving family and friends who care about you to back you up, you know nothing could go wrong. Yes, it may be hurtful and you may feel vulnerable although whatever the person says is untrue, but you have to remember that you are the controller of your own emotions. I say, cry all you want the first day or the first hour or however long it takes you to get yourself together; but don't get to the point where you yourself have doubts about you. Confide in someone you trust; it helps remind you that you are never alone in anything.
P.S. Why am I suddenly bringing this all up? Well, let's just say that I have a constant reminder whenever I open my Blogger Dashboard.
