how do you 'contain' your anger towards people you find annoying online

i have very little tolerance and patience with people i find annoying, and at times i get so intensely angry by people's comments or just what someone has posted, i feel tempted to post an aggressive comment back at that person? but i daren't do that because i don't want any trouble, you have to be careful online now.

there's times i'm sat here staring at someone's comment online which annoyed me, and i'm clenching my teeth at that person, i even make growling noises sometimes i get so angry.....i get advised a lot to not be in front of my computer all the time and go do other things, get jobs done etc....but i am kind of addicted to being online and have done for a while....and i get really drawn in and involved, with things i ordinarily wouldn't, because some pig online has really got to me with their comments.

thoughts?

Well, do as you must, but anger only hurts you.

Think about changing the mind of someone that’s pissed you off. Online, the odds are close to 0%.

People only react, generally speaking, to their own reality. You may see an issue as black and white. Someone else may have life experiences that prove an entirely different reality.

There’s more than one reality in life on any issue. Give others their space. Find common ground, not differences.

It’s much healthier. So is logging off. Real life is much better. 😉
