Instagram is a great way to connect with friends and family, but it can also be a platform for cyberbullying. If you receive a tbh (too true) on Instagram, here are some tips on how to respond. If the tbh is about you: Don’t get defensive. It’s okay to be surprised or hurt, but try not to react in an emotional way. Instead, take a step back and think about what the person might have meant by their comment. Was it meant as a joke? A criticism? Or was it just mean-spirited? Once you know what the person was trying to say, you can decide how to respond. If the tbh is not about you: If the tbh isn’t about you, that doesn’t mean that it’s okay to ignore it. Instead, try responding in a way that acknowledges the comment but doesn’t engage with the person who made it. For example, you could write something like “Thanks for letting me know! I’ll try to do better next time.” This way, you’re still polite but you don’t give into the temptation of getting into an argument with someone who is trying to hurt your feelings. ..
