AceShowbiz - Cassie Randolph opens up how she coped with her recent breakup with Colton Underwood. Admitting that it wasn't easy for her, "The Bachelor" alum revealed in a new post on her Instagram account that she's struggling to stay unbothered of what people think and say about her following the public split.

Alongside a picture of her on a beach, Cassie wrote in the caption, "The last 2 years I've been thrust into a spotlight after living a fairly normal life. Since then, I've been trying to learn how to navigate my life changes while also trying to cling to who I am."

She went on saying, "I used to think a platform would give me a voice, but in many ways a platform takes your voice. For someone like me it's been paralyzing. I can overthink everything." Cassie shared that "it takes really thick skin to navigate constant drama, fake articles, nasty DMs & comments or rumors started by people who feel entitled to your personal life. It takes incredible mental strength to shrug off strangers who regularly criticize your character based on conclusions they drew while watching an edited tv show (I could say so much here)."

Cassie, who joined "Bachelor" in the 23rd season of the ABC dating series, later sent a message to her haters, writing, "ok all you mother ffers hating on me for my breakup-please stop." She admitted the past few months had been "awful" few months "for ME trying to go thru it. I'm STILL going thru it. It's hard enough w/out your know-it-all comments. You literally know nothing so go away."

Before concluding her post, Cassie reminded her followers that "Life is short. We all have struggles to figure out. All we can do is the best we know in the moment so when we reflect, we don't feel regret. Always be learning, always be growing."

Saying that she would force herself not to overthink, Cassie thanked her supporters. "Thx to the majority of u who've been kind & sent concerned messages. It means more than u know. ily all (minus the trolls)."
