How do you handle getting downvoted?

I'm relatively new to Reddit (I had created an account a while ago, but started using it seriously few weeks ago). I recently made a post that received quite a few downvotes and the comments had even more downvotes. I didn't expect to feel so unsettled by it, but I found myself questioning whether I should have posted at all.

I'm curious how other Redditors deal with negative votes. Do you take them personally? Have you developed a thicker skin over time? Any advice for someone still learning the ropes?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!
