Is it normal i treat internet comments as more important than what they are?

I give way too much weight to internet comments. If I read a comment that angers or upsets me, I will think about it all the time. I become kind of paranoid, thinking nearly everyone I come in contact with has seen it and upvoted it. Or that it's a widely held opinion that most people agree with, even if it's blatantly wrong. I think somehow this is going to affect me and the world. I know it won't but I can't shake the feeling.

I sometimes do this with stuff I've heard offline too. Even if it's just one random person I'll never see again.

Is It Normal?
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

  • I know the feeling. If it really bothers you then avoid pages and sub-categories that tend to provoke you the most. No matter what your opinion is there will always be someone who disagrees with it

  • I sometimes feel the same way, except I feel it about my own comments, and it's a feeling of fear and regret as I find numerous ways that I disagree and am horrified with whatever it was that I just said

  • Doesnt sound good. If people make comments that stress you out you ought to just block their accounts.

    • It's not just a few people, it's usually multiple people across the site.

      • I have 5+ people blocked. If someone seems snooty or something annoying I block them. This site is supposed to be for fun not annoying

        • It's a different site for me. And if you speak up against it, you'll be dogpiled. I suppose it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things and I can always stop using the site, but it just bothers me.

  • You do realise that at base level people’s words are just marks on a page or random noises coming from their mouth holes...

  • Yes in some ways it is normal to see them as a more important.
