Why do people like to write negative comments online? At the end, I have prepared jokes about writers for you. I think this is exactly what the comments to their works would look like if they published them on Instagram*. The most interesting thing is that those people who write not just negative, but truly angry, aggressive, accusing comments, actually never behave like that in their lives they don't lead. But the Internet is a safe space. In which you can go without punishment. It’s too easy to look at someone’s photo or read a post, internally disagree with it and just move on. It’s much more interesting to get benefits and once again distance yourself from your problems by draining your negative energy on the first person you come across. scoundrel networks. Why do people do this? There are several reasons for this. In 1980, Harvard Business School Research Director Teresa Amabile conducted a study that led to this conclusion. Negative comments, despite their nature, always create the feeling that they are written by a very smart person. Because criticism is perceived as a more correct position. From this we can conclude that by leaving critical comments on someone’s thoughts, a person seems to grow in his own eyes. Another reason is more obvious. Sometimes we encounter things online that are very difficult to cope with. Someone else's success, beauty, thoughts that can cause pain, shame or unpleasant experiences. The psyche of most people has an elementary protective function of “denial”. To avoid facing pain, we simply blame. And the more angry this accusation is, the more confidence inside you will be that you are right. It is very difficult to admit that there are people better than you in some way. More successful, interesting, happy, beautiful. Instead of taking responsibility, it’s easier to say that they are the ones who are wrong. It’s easy to accuse all beautiful women of being materialistic, weak in the front and bitches. It is more difficult to admit to yourself that such women are not interested in you. You can also devalue the work of any person by accusing him of “collecting money.” Or cover with a wave of obscenities a person who admits to something or asks for help. And it immediately seems that you are so smart, independent and always do everything right. I don’t offend anyone with this text, I don’t blame anyone. Rather, this text is for those who themselves encounter hate on the Internet. Remember that if you have your own haters, then you are very popular! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ * Instagram is owned by Meta, which is recognized as an extremist organization in Russia.
