I think you should view your comments as separate from you account. When someone downvotes, they are probably just not liking the comment, not because they hate you or anything. Like, sometimes there are known members of Lemmy that I just know are good people and argue in good faith, but sometimes they do make bad arguments and I downvote, but it does not mean I hate them in anyway. Downvotes are against the comment, not the user.
Also, Lemmy doesn’t have karma anyways.
But I just gave an upvote here, hopefully that makes you feel slightly better 🤗
