Advice for me to stop being so triggered by fake Sikhs ?

Question

Vjkk vjkf

I am an eighteen year old uk born Sikh girl. I have so much love for sikhi, an endless amount.

But when I see videos or accounts of people who glorify drinking/vaping whilst having a khanda/ੴ plastered all over their social media profiles. It triggers me I feel like sikhi is being disrespected and they aren’t representing Sikhi at all. So many individuals from other faiths have a saying “Sikhs are known for drinking”, and people like that don’t help? How are people seriously adding a khanda to their social media names whilst doing all that?? I get it’s not my life it’s theirs but im a Sikh and Im obviously offended by people acting like the khanda/ੴ is some kind of label and then glorifying all of that stupid stuff. How do I not let it bother me??? Even some other Sikh women who will be wearing a necklace with the khanda or ੴ yet lip syncing to the dirtiest audios and being half naked?? 😭
