It wasn\u2019t a nice feeling. But I signed up for this, and I\u2019ve had to learn to deal with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old added, \u201cWhen I was climbing to the peak of my career, I realized that comments coming from a bad place really got to me. I\u2019m human, so even though I try not to let them affect me, somehow they do\u2014and I tend to overthink.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To protect her mental space, The Song Bird took a simple but powerful step: turning off notifications. \u201cI don\u2019t have any notifications on my phone until I open the app,\u201d she explained. \u201cI don\u2019t scroll through all the comments or check pages. I just make the post and let it do what it has to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The singer, born Jacqueline Acheampong, added that since 2023, she has become more intentional about how she engages online.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt makes me feel more like a human being and helps me focus on reality,\u201d she said. \u201cThe internet is very addictive. If you let the information on there get into your mind and soul, it can be harmful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While she still checks in from time to time to hear what fans are saying, Gyakie said she now avoids giving too much attention to online opinions, especially when they\u2019re harsh or dismissive.<\/p>\n<p>She also encouraged fans to think before posting harsh comments online. \u201cSometimes, before you post a comment, just imagine if it were said to you.
