Why do people have to take their boredom out on others

I understand boredom and loneliness , but stop being a troll think before you act and how you might actually be affecting someone else for once.

I get bored easily but try not to take it out on others

@SJones48 That's a more normal reaction, but oftentimes on the Internet people seem to forget they are talking to other people that too have feelings and should be treated as such.

I am afraid that just comes with social media. Sadly, people hiding behind a keyboard feel empowered to say and do what they normally wouldn't if they were face to face. The mute or block option exist so that you can get away from it when it is more than you want to see on a regular basis.

@LadyBronte I have blocked more people than I have talked to and it's just very easy to feel like the world must be a hateful place when people can act like you don't matter just because there is a screen and distance between us .

@Carebear412 I don't worry about them. If someone blocks me, I simply go on my own way, happier for it.

You can build up some meaningful connections on social media, as in the real world. Just the same as my close friends, who I rarely meet, but use messages on the phone.

While it is sad, it is necessary to remember that almost without exception, everyone who shows up in a place like this is searching for something they feel is missing in their lives.. And in the case of many, its the same motivation that makes MAGA work for trump. The feeling of being short changed and unheard, leaving those people with a need to lash out at anything..And the vulnerable are easy targets..😷

@Carebear412 True. And for some, this is the only therapy they get...😷

@whowasthatmaskedman that's kinda the problem.

@Carebear412 Indeed.. But for some, they just want to share what they know of have experienced.. Or to vent, because they have no one they can do that with. Its harmless.

The people who are not trolls are going to continue to not be trolls and unfortunately, the ones that are will continue .
I don't believe they really care if they make other people upset that's part of why they do it.
Best to not to engage with them.

@Justmeraeagain I try not to. Sometimes they find you first though.
