I Have Something to Say Why do so many antisocial people end up on social media sites? Is it...

It could be because in real life people tend to stay away from them. Social media may provide them with the outlet of their thoughts that they lack in the real world.

It can be pretty distressing, however. I come to SW for fun, not for nasty rantings.

But not all of us are antisocial...

For some of us, it is far easier to write in text that we can modify before sending our thoughts and feelings out there. I have become better (verbally speaking), though I still stutter, slur my speech, and am a nonlinear thinker and talker. In print, though, it's a different story. :)

Perhaps because people take little notice of them in real life. Or perhaps in reality the proportion of anti-social people on here is no different to anywhere else. People who actively seek support from a site like this may find this question anti-social. It's all a question of perspective.

It may be therapeutic to some. Perhaps venting on here is a way to try to force people to listen when people in real life won't.

Sorry guys. I don't mean to burst your bubble. This is a social media site. And if you are suggesting that antisocial people end up on social media sites then we too are antisocial.
