“People frequently ask me and Barack, how did we maintain our sense of hope not just during our eight years in the White House, but also in the years that followed?” Michelle reflected. “Let me tell you, we faced an overwhelming amount of negativity directed our way — countless rumors, persistent gossip, and unfounded accusations such as claims that my husband wasn’t born in this country, we lacked patriotism, or that he didn’t deserve admission to Harvard.”
“Despite the challenges we encountered, what helped us maintain our mental well-being — and what we aimed to impart to our daughters — is the understanding that you cannot allow social media to dictate your reality,” she emphasized, sharing her conviction that she has likely never “once looked at a comment section.”
“It’s crucial to prevent that negative energy from infiltrating your personal space. Remember, these are individuals who do not know you. Much of the information circulating is fabricated and serves no constructive purpose,” she continued, shedding light on the importance of mental fortitude in the face of public scrutiny.
“This doesn’t imply that you should remain uninformed, but staying informed is about engaging with substantive content rather than fixating on comment sections. It’s essential to focus on the quality of the stories you consume,” Michelle advised, highlighting the significance of discerning information.
She went on to express her concerns about individuals becoming so engrossed in social media that they feel overwhelmed by the singular source of information available to them. “We need to expand our horizons and, at times, disconnect from our devices,” Michelle concluded, encouraging a more balanced approach to media consumption.
