it's an emotional outlet. they can't regulate their emotions without lashing out. I just block people that don't know how to get along well with others.
WHY WON'T YOU TALK TO ME?!! I NEED ATTENTION!!!!
Or they’re regulating their emotions all the time and use a pseudonymous message board to vent.
It's not regulation if they are hateful. It's abuse.
Fucking truth.
Dumping your emotional outbursts onto people over the internet is no better than doing so in person.
Yet I know for a fact that lot of people online, especially in games, just stop controlling themselves. Simply because they can't see the person whose day, week, or life they are ruining.
You mean use strangers as verbal punching bags?
They're not screaming into a pillow.
They're sending their problems out into the world, where they may or may not harm or even kill others.
You guys, make sure to upvote Abbadon above, but don't respond to him. It will drive him absolutely CRAZY.
Who?
