Negativity in social media

Sometimes I wonder why there is so much open negativity, harsh criticism and even insults on social media. I guess it's easy to type without realising that, at the other side of the screen, someone will receive that message. We don't know that person, their feelings....so wouldn't it be better if we think twice about what we have to say?

    Being anonymous makes people feel emboldened to say things they wouldn't in person.

    I think part of it is that when we speak to each other we can hear tone while if we type the same sentence it is questionable if it's meant to be mean or not

    Maybe it's a case of out of sight, out of mind. As you've mentioned we don't know the person at the other end so some put their negative feedback then scroll knowing that they will never meet that person in their life. Or other reasons.

    Most likely yes. Guess everyone does it for different reasons
