I think it's a bit of both honestly. People are insecure, and some people don't know how to handle this so they bring others down. They feel more comfortable doing so on social media because they can hide behind a screen and don't have to physically worry about getting hurt if they say something negative to someone.Deep wrote: Wed Sep 03, 2025 3:59 amDo you think the anonymity of social media encourages negativity, or is it more about people projecting their own unhappiness online?Ravenfreak wrote: Fri Aug 29, 2025 7:21 pm I think it decreases it, social media has made life more difficult IMO.

Exactly, insecurity drives negativity, and social media provides a shield, letting people attack without real-world consequences or accountability.Ravenfreak wrote: Wed Sep 03, 2025 10:11 pmI think it's a bit of both honestly.
