If you want to succeed, you’ve got to get over the people who call themselves your friend but who undercut your attempts to get better. Who criticize you for working hard, insult you for showing your expertise, and complain about you pursuing your goal. They are not your friend.
The same people who complain about you grinding to pay your dues will say you don’t deserve the success you find on the other side. Their problem is with themselves, not you. Disregard and keep going.
As @ZubyMusic says

“I bet the same cats that’s laughing while I’m chasing my dream
Will be the ones asking for something if I’m major on the scene.”

The people complaining about you working so hard today will be asking for a handout when their cash runs out and you’ve made it.
So if you want to succeed, recognize this resistance as a sign your work is being NOTICED.

That means good people will notice, too. The kind who can give you a better job or a hand up to the next level.

Keep going. Don’t let complainers stop you. They’re not your friends.

Paraphrasing @JoshTerryPlays: Demanding a content creator produce a source proving what they’ve said is “a perfect weapon you should never use.” It’s forcing them to produce evidence or be called a liar. Calling them a liar is an attack, not a debate. Do your own research.
He’s right. Asking for a source for more info is great. Researching what you read to make sure it’s true is smart. Debating an idea is also cool.

“YOU’RE FULL OF CRAP, I DEMAND YOU PRODUCE EVIDENCE” is just saying “You’re a liar” in 9 words instead of 3.

Go look up the info.
I get this one a lot. Even about basic neurology. “Men have more vasopressin receptors than women.”

“THIS IS MISOGYNY. I DEMAND TO SEE YOUR SOURCES. PRODUCE EVIDENCE OR BE PROVED A LIAR.”

It’s really: “I don’t like this. I refuse it. And I don’t know how to use Google search.”

Ladies looking for quality men:

High quality guys are being set up by their aunts and grandmas and everyone at work and church. People want those guys connected to their family, specifically their sweet female family members who stay at home and want to build a family.

Thread:
Dating websites are basically what's left over from healthy pairing. Dudes on dating websites are often there because they don't have the social skills and relationship awareness required to get recommended dates within their social network. That's why those DMs are all dickpicks
Which is why stats show that 90% of women are competing for the top 10% of men on dating websites, and those men cycle the women for endless sex while pretending to commit.

Many of the remaining 90% of men are desperate for sexual approval from women. They get clingy super fast.

"Adam my marriage is cold and my spouse resents me. Sex is rare. What can I do?"

My DMs, email, and comment sections are packed with people asking me this. Their marriage is stuck and they want to get better but don't know how.

Here's a thread of my best resources to fix this.
Number 1, Let me show you what a good marriage looks like. If you've never seen one you can't imagine a solution. You need to know good from bad in order to do better or ask for changes.

Here's my guide to improving a marriage and how it should look.
While watching that video you may say, "This stuff sounds hard. How can I open up like that? I get nervous just thinking about it."

Chances are you might have attachment issues. Most people who have them don't realize it. Here's a guide on attachment.

Do you struggle to fall asleep because you’re trying to keep track of what you have to do the next day?

Try this. Get a $5 daily planner. Every night before bed write down your next day’s tasks. In the morning, review the list. Cross them off the next night and write a new list.
This eliminates what’s called the Zeigarnik effect. Your brain keeps tabs open about everything you’re trying to remember. 50 open tabs slows down your processing. And you’re afraid to sleep because they’ll all close and lose your lists. So your brain fights against deep sleep.
This works for more than daily tasks. Writing down your place in any project you haven’t completed also closes a tab. Your brain recognizes that memory is outsourced and it doesn’t have to track its place in the project anymore. That gives you back processing power.
