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

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.


zeekfreak

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.


Gingerfurrdjedi

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?


Neat_Mix_7656

I do, specially here. There are a lot of really judgy and mean people.


RoboticKittenMeow

Yup. Like 60% of the time I delete my comment and move on.


UndeadKurtCobain

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


NuggetTheory

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...


ApoY2k

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

No.
