[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's due to the internet. Anonymous posters get comfortable being mean to others. Probably carries over to non-internet, non-anonymous interactions.[/quote] It’s social media, not the wider “internet.” People shop, find jobs, buy houses, book vacations, etc - all on “the internet,” and all without meanness. Social media is where the meanness happens. Social media is more toxic than we know.[/quote] Maybe. In the, shopping, finding jobs, buying houses, booking vacations, etc. all required social interactions, often with strangers. I think we’re losing many opportunities to practice our social skills as face to face interactions are not required as much as they used to be. Many people prefer it this way — so fewer people in fewer situations are practicing and enjoying”nice” behavior regularly. [/quote]
