The urge is too great not to respond to something you strongly believe was meant for you, specially when it is something bad and it did not specifically mention your name, but just the very situation you are at.
BUT HEAR ME OUT.
Publicly confronting an unnamed individual anonymously behind one's keyboard is NOT a display of courage. If anything, it is one of the lowest coward moves in today's generation.
A truly strong, brave, loving, courageous individual would confront in private. His/Her goal is to mend, not worsen an already bad situation.
So, IF you would listen, this is my advice. Or you can stop reading here.
Do not respond the way they want you to. Do not fall into their trap. If they did not name you, do not assume it was you. For they can easily say, they were not talking about you. (One of the lowest coward moves, remember?)
Instead, move on with your life. Keep doing what you are doing. Your real friends, your family, the ones who really love you will say something if there is any concern about your attitude. Consider what they say. You don't have to believe it right away, but if you count them as closest to you, or if you discern sincerity in them, at least give it a thought.
You are loved. Remember that.
People's opinion of you becomes a background noise that can be cancelled when you know who you are in GOD.
Jesus Christ died for you. You are loved. Remember that.
May the power of the Holy Spirit strengthen your patience and self-control, so you may never engage in an ugly battle where no one wins.
Lastly, because God loves us, may we be able to declare by actions, words, and thoughts, "I love You, too, Lord."
