Is there a word for people on the Internet who like to listen to themselves talk? Lol

What are the names for these phenomena? There should be names. 🤔. Sometimes I wonder why these behaviors have become acceptable on the Internet. When we meet people like this in real life we recognize that they are an ass, so people generally don’t carry on like that.

Jane/Joe shares a a personal feeling/experience, clearly looking for people who can relate. There is no inquiry for advice.
Suzzie/Tod: I’ve never had that feeling! I have only had contrary experiences of that! My experience implies that there’s something wrong/less enlightened for not mirroring me!

Suzzie/Tod feels the need to boost their own ego by invalidating other people.

Jane/Joe: Asks where they can buy a blue sweater
Suzzie/Tod: uses this benign question to discuss how they don’t like the color blue, knit their own sweaters or only by local or only shop at thrift stores or use the thread as a platform to discuss labor laws in foreign countries or how sweaters are something liberal/conservatives do or they are a nudist

Susie/Todd is constantly looking for opportunities to assert themselves as special in some way that must be publicly, passive aggressively established


Susie/Todd: makes a statement asking for peoples opinions/advice and gets pissy when people don’t agree.

I suppose we all have a need to be heard to a degree or we wouldn’t be here

It’s one thing to want to be heard. It’s another thing to steal the mic, if that makes sense @SW-User

@WhateverWorks it does. And unfortunately I let people like that go. With not a little bit of guilt but..

Yeah, I usually let it go. Every once in a while I’ll be in a mood though where my patience for their lack of manners isn’t there 🤭. In real life it’s very easy to look someone in the eye and be like, “that’s cool that you don’t like the color blue Susie, but I’m trying to ask here where I can buy a blue sweater. Do you know where I can buy a blue sweater?” to shut it down. @SW-User
