Absolutely! Protecting your own personal energy is so very important - in life as well as with SM. They each show you who they are in their responses and it is very wise to spend the time & energy on the things that support where you are at/where you are going. Let the rest "be them/do them" - you don't have to persuade them otherwise, you really don't. Surround yourself with the energy that supports you. Have a great time and can't wait to see how you get on.

Very positive attitude and so true! These people who criticise generally only do it because it's the only way they can get attention! Good or bad, it doesn't matter as long as you give it to them so ignoring them not only bugs them but you don't stress out and it's very true what you said about that one comment overshadowing all the good ones and the time you waste fretting over it making yourself miserable! That's why they do it too because they feel miserable and want others to feel miserable! It's taken me years to realise all this! You remember the lovely gentleman who was so OTT about what I said to him and like a child told you he would stop following you and named me!! I decided to not answer back as it would have just turned into a slanging match! You had made a beautiful video, one of your best and he was the only one to criticise! he was so vindictive, like a petulant child!! I looked at an earlier comment and he'd done the exact same thing! So transparent! Anyway, never stop what you do and how you do it, you're still getting more subscribers so you must be doing something right!! You're the best and I am unanimous in that!! xxx
When I ran my own business I had a rule not to do anything for that business or housework etc between 9pm and 9am or on Sundays. That was my time to read, watch tv, eat nutritious food, do yoga, go for a walk, sew or knit. In short self care. Good for you for finding and sticking to boundaries.
Hi Andrew, please always remember the very large group of people who admire your work ethic, content and generosity. Thank you for your recent response regarding the EV6. Look forward to seeing you soon. Enjoy Italy and the motorhome. Wayne.
Keep up the fantastic work please Andrew. I feel you’re frustration with the comments, it’s amazing how many nay sayers there are out there particularly with EVs. We embraced the EV life a couple of years ago and whilst we don’t tow caravans we’ve absolutely loved it and wouldn’t go back. It was amazing to see your choices as we’ve got a his and hers EVs (i3 and Smart ForTwo convertible) but have a bongo for our travels and had been planning ahead for my retirement and potentially a bigger EV and caravan and your choice looks to be identical to ours just about (assuming I’ve guessed right on what caravan you are basing this on). Anyway, ramble over, we continue to love your YouTube content and your Streamlining, you’re a bright light light in a dull world.
I reckon you have your coping mechanisms sussed Andrew - I couldn’t do what you do for any number of reasons and I would certainly lose the will to be patient with the on-line wasters!
Enjoy Tuscany and the new Motorhome, I have never done either but can readily appreciate both, so I shall share this one vicariously, if you don’t mind sir… 👍🏻 ✅ 😉
Hi, i always enjoy your vlogs and Dougal of course. I love your new car and set up. Enjoy your trip and i look forward to seeing what you've been upto. 🙂🚐
Well said, Andrew! I hate to admit that I was one of those “disappointed” followers when you rolled out the EV. However, I then found myself saying “But, what if…” more than “How could he?!?” I seemed to be more curious about the performance of an EV than disappointed. I also decided that if anyone is going to give an honest review about the EV, it is going to be you! And who knows, maybe you will inspire someone to come up with an even more eco-friendly EV! Enjoy Tuscany!
Hiya honey. Have a wonderful time in Tuscany. Apologies for being late to the EV party, super interested to find out more as you go along the EV journey x
Brilliant advice Andrew. I used to blog (just a very small personal site). It was always the snarky, ill-informed comment which would derail my entire day and overshadow the brilliant comments from people who had become friends.
That changed when I found a Meme/image/thing somewhere online which said something along the lines of "nearly 8 billion people on this planet and you let the opinion of just ONE ****** ruin your day?"
Andrew. Just keep doing what you are doing. You make enjoyable and informative videos.Full stop. Have a great time in Tuscany!

Yes hear hear, enjoy your trip to Tuscany and very sound words of advice :-)

So good to have you back out on the road and showing us loads of stuff! EV content is really interesting coming from you! We are listening 😂👍🏻

Some great and timely advice for YouTube creators, thank you.

Right (write?) on, Andrew.
