KEEP GRIZZLING AND NOBODY WILL CARE
The Internet has helped free the worst in people. How is that?
Sometimes you surf around social networking sites and come across articles such as what policies are innovative, or certain decisions of a head of a group or an organization, then scroll down the comments and caught countless complaints and reproaches. There are comments that look pretty convincing, get a lot of feedback and sometimes you will bump into all kinds of emotions there. Maybe you will stop for a moment and have dozens of questions like, oh, why is that, why are these people so negative? Why are they complaining so much? Why don't I hear even a single word from the people around me? Or am I indifferent to people too? Would they be more comfortable with these reviews? It would be sublime to think of something better and make it a reality, wouldn't it?
I am not a psychologist to draw conclusions expertly what has happened to these people but I can point out some of the following characteristics you most likely feel the same.
- They always find out and sometimes in-depth analyze the bad points, the drawbacks of a problem in a certain article.
- They complain and expect many things, mostly "just leave it as it is".
- They share on personal pages, their stories, or send messages to people who have the same opinion.
- Sometimes, or almost everywhere, the "experts" in some areas identify and get quite a lot of feedback.
You may think that this article is superficial and only looks at it negatively. Right, there are always better, better, and better decisions made thanks to the opinions of everyone on the Internet, but that is not the direction I am aiming for. Back to the point, let's dive into people's behavior. Internet is the greatest reflection of humanity. Here people can express themselves more, with less responsibility. People indicate what they want others to see, more proactively. And here are some incentives for them to do this:
- Sometimes something bad has actually happened to them, and they only see this as a way to "let go" to reduce frustration.
- Some people have a need to show their "knowledge", and of course, this is a great playground.
- They really want to contribute something better.
- That is a reflection of what they believe in.
- They want to get more relationships, people with similar views.
- They like the feeling of being responded by many.
People are regularly attuned to how the things they quite seeing will be useful and interesting, not just to themselves, but also to other people. And for any reason, the Internet seems to has a way of bringing out bad sides of people's inner.
I think most people have gone through a nearly blind rage about what they wrote online and started hustling on the reply line and expressing themselves. That is bad. But there is also a bit of addiction about it. You would have turned a blind eye and ignored it. Or you could have stopped. And certainly, the answer that you wrote, you hit the send button and you are satisfied with that, someone else will click the reply button and continue to show other blind rage and they start head knocking back you.
