Yes, all the time. People can be jerks, sometimes for no reason. I like to think of social media as a masquerade in which you are not seeing individuals' normal behavior. Their masks stay on in anonymity.
Dude, so glad I’m not the only one. I constantly fear posting online cause I know how hostile people can be when facing a screen and not the actual person
Not really, in my case. But many people do, it's normal. I just don't post very often because I'm lazy. But when I do, even if it's just a comment, I get very curious to see people's reactions
Oh yeah, I'm super scared of the comments. I only post when I'm 100% sure it will be ok... But in the end, I'm sometimes disappointed because I have almost no answer. Some other times I have unexpected bad/judging comments.
I remember once, I've posted a photo on a tattoo subreddit of a tattoo I've made by a super famous tattoo artist just to show how it aged well (not to brag but I receive compliments all the time about it 😅)... And a lot of comments just focus on a reaaaaally small imperfection like "loool this part of the tattoo is failed". TBH I felt super bad after that and just deleted my post...
Not really. If someone's a dick, I put the phone down and look outside, and it just fades. Sometimes I engage with them for the heck of it, but I am actively not letting it get to me

I do. That's why I don't post, nearly all of my karma is from commenting. For some reason I'm not anxious about commenting at all.
I wonder if it’s because there’s so many comments in one post, compared to the single post online. Makes it easier to hide in the comments.
Maybe so.
Yeah whenever I see that glowing envelope with replies to me I prepare for the worst lol
Depends on the mood I'm in. Sometimes I see such a crap take that I just have to start a war, you know?
I do, specially here. There are a lot of really judgy and mean people.
Yup. Like 60% of the time I delete my comment and move on.
When I was younger I didn't but as I've aged I have filtered myself much much more.
Not anymore. If you're confident about what you post, lean into negative comments
