I Hate Miscommunication

Why does social media exist if it just causes more problems? I can't even post something without it being taken out of context, hints *at* my last post on here. And trolls love to sit behind their keyboards and judge people because it's their favorite past time to get other people angry.

These are people who are unhappy with their lives, who don't like to interact much with other people, cowards who don't usually say things to other people face to face but love to do it where they can't be found (in the comfort of their own homes), and people who are generally two faced.

Tell me if I've missed anyone, because I think I've mostly covered it. And miscommunication comes in different forms, but text is one of the main culprits. People love misreading text and totally taking things the wrong way.

This is why I love Youtube, because not only can you hear the emotion and intent in someone's voice, but they usually explain things a little better. You can also see their facial expressions. We are missing expression in our daily lives, because we have hidden ourselves behind screens where no one else can observe us.

As long as humans are involved, there will be problems with communication. Social media is a playground for people with passive aggressive tendencies, many of whom find a greater freedom and influence online than they do IRL. They're kinda like potholes: don't be surprised when you encounter one and do your best to avoid them.

Emojis are often used to convey the tone of a message but they can get confusing too.😕

*hence

@otto78 I actually misspelled that on purpose like “hint,” as I was hinting at my last post. But it’s okay, I understand because I wasn’t specific. You have my apologies. :)

@otto78 maybe it wasn’t best to make a play at words when I should have added “at” into the sentence...hints at my last post.

@PoisonLace I almost put a question mark after my suggested correction, because I felt that maybe there was a reference that I wasn't catching. I also thought that "hints" would be an odd misspelling of "hence" if it wasn't a voice typing product. My apologies to you, and thank you for your gracious response.
