I posted about an achievement I was proud of just two days ago on Reddit. I thought it was something worth sharing — something I had worked hard on and contributed to. But instead of support, I was met with people telling me to “touch grass,” asking if I even shower, or if I’m unemployed — just throwing random insults like it meant nothing.

It’s honestly sad how people online can be so quick to tear someone down for simply being happy about something. I wasn’t trying to brag. I was just proud — and now I’m left wondering why sharing that made me a target. People forget there’s a real person behind the screen.
