Man, this really resonated with me. One of my pictures went somewhat viral (became a meme) about 2 years ago and I have had really mixed emotions about it. Mine wasn't even bad - just a mildly amusing, slightly embarrassing picture of myself. I consider myself pretty thick-skinned & generally don't get butthurt about a few jokes at my expense, but some of the hateful shit people posted could make anyone insecure. I'm just glad there were only a few - I can't imagine what this girl went through.

Great post, thanks for sharing.
