We get instant feedback these days from listeners - whether it be through text, Whatsapp or Messenger. Once upon a time, if you didn't answer the studio phone, the listener couldn't contact you.
While this is all great when used properly and on purpose, it can aslo be a huge drain on your ego."What a stupid comment....You're awful....When is the regular guy back on air, this guy sucks....".
One comment like that can throw you, if you let it.
You can't filter the comments out but you can control your reaction.
Let me give you a quick example of how these comments should never be taken to heart:
98FM Dublin, I'm on afternoon drive. I crack a joke.
Text - "Worst DJ ever".
Immediately after that, another text - "That was hilarious".
Right after eachother. Same gag - two completely different reactions.
Try develop a thick skin and move on. If you can.

It will help massively.
We're all trying to be great, we all want to be the best.
Respect yourself and listen to your instinct.
