Let's remember, this is true for ALL animals, not just people! Negative stimulus is much more powerful than positive stimulus, which makes sense when you think about how the world works. We have to learn fast to avoid things that hurt us.

It's just a fact that if someone posts something and get lots of nice responses and a few negative ones... they will probably focus on the negative ones. That's one of the reasons why internet dicussions spin out of control so much more real life ones do.

It takes practice to learn how to get feedback on an internet forum, and someone new to the experience or in a vulnerable place will have an especially hard time doing that.

To the OP, I do hope you will reconsider and stay. There are a lot of great people here and a lot of great information. I think people will support you in the future if you come back.
