For anyone this may help, my mantra since the very beginning: "Why do thousands of strangers suddenly care about what I'm doing with my money? And why are they angry with me?"
It's very simple. And as a mental exercise, ask yourself if you would approach a random stranger and start aggressively giving them "advice" on investments and why their current choices are all bad. It's weird. It doesn't make sense. Just keep reminding yourself how odd this interaction would be - outside of the internet or otherwise - and carry on.
The DMs, down votes, and reports are the evidence I need to remain confident in my decision.
