Okay seriously.
There’s one major thing on the internet that really bugs me.
And maybe I’m just too sensitive. Maybe I take things to heart too much. Maybe I’m just too easily offended (although, I’ve never considered myself a person who is actually offended easily).
But what is wrong with most of the internet population?
I mean, can’t people learn to be civilized towards one another? Or is the mask of animosity just too tempting to pass up?
I was just reading some communities, and it’s pretty disgusting how mean some people are. Yes, this is the internet. It’s not face to face. But that doesn’t make it any less ‘real’. There’s still a real person typing those nasty things, and pressing submit (post, send, enter, whatever). A real person on the other side. And real people are still affected by what’s said. Why do so many people fail to realize this?
The worst part is that most of the people who go out of their way to be douchebags online, are the ones who lack the balls to do so in real life. I mean, that’s just a new level of pathetic. Seriously. What’s the draw to starting drama? Is your own life so meaningless that you have to stir up shit with random strangers? Really?
This was a pretty meaningless post, but I just had to get that out there.
On a completely unrelated note, my intestines are trying to leave my body. It hurts.
It is not meaningless. And you’re not the only one feeling that way. I used to feel the same about angry people on the road: they are pushed around at work, they are bullied by their spouse, at least on the road they can do the bullying… Things have not changed all that much
Haha, I never thought of it that way. It’s just so irritating. The worst part is that even though it bugs me and even though I don’t get involved, I can’t help but read it. :/
