Do you blame social media for the worst in people or is it people showing their true colors?

Shangri-La
There’s def a race to the bottom when people can be anonymous online. They wouldn’t say half the shyt they do and think there wouldn’t be consequences.


Let me see if I have a link to the study/report


Yes the platform enables people acting out their sociopathic fantasies or weirdo shyt like making up nonfunny personae.

Therefore, the browsing duration can reflect the tendency of loneliness, since highly neurotic individuals and introverts tend to spend more time on the Internet to compensate for a probable lack of physical interaction, while at the same time, it projects the interest of “real self” exploration in online interaction (Amichai-Hamburger, 2005; Schrammel et al., 2009). The tendency to use the Internet is defined in the context of the “rich get richer” and the “poor getting rich” theory (Amichai-Hamburger, 2002). For example, in Amichai-Hamburger and Vinitzky (2010), it was observed that individual high on the extraversion scale tend to use social media to enlarge their boundary of friends and influence, while individuals scoring high on the neuroticism scale tend to use anonymized online media for personal expression. In Hamburger and Ben-Artzi (2000), it was further suggested that the Internet can be described as a complex platform that presents a diverse paradoxical lexicon. The study, however, highlighted that Internet usage in itself does not explain the causation of individual usage (dis)similarity. As highlighted in Table 1, there appears to be a general consensus on the positive relationship between neuroticism and Internet usage, in particular on an anonymized channel.

Most definitely not. Folks are only going to try that shyt when and where they think they can get away with that shyt. Its easier to lie on the web. Is it REALLY worth it though? You cant sketch authenticity.

My thing is folks doing all this extra unnecessary shyt online and offline to live a lie or to be something they are not. Clout chasing is wack. What makes me smh is how theres a lot of grown ass adults thinking theyre cool as shyt on social media when they look stupid because of all the energy they put into it. Why? They dont own that shyt but yet they act like they do and are entitled to those social media platforms. Even with social media, these folks cant even use that shyt to be positive or uplift others. They gotta be super narcissistic with it. Narcissism isnt cool.

We are in the post era of the wannabe/wake up call era because now folks is getting exposed now
