Also, Rogan advised fighters and others in the public eye to resist the temptation of engaging with online haters. He stressed the importance of protecting one’s mental well-being by avoiding individual responses and refraining from reading hurtful comments.
“There comes a point in time where you just have to post things and then say thank you in the post. But you can’t respond to people individually. Just because it is bad for your brain. I see it with fighters, I try to tell fighters all the time, don’t read that sh*t man!”
