Is it normal that your mood at the time you comment on a post sets your opinion

7 Comments

do you think your mood effects your opinion on things? for example if you were in a bad mood one day you would have a negative opinion on something, whereas on a happier day you would be more open minded about the issue? Do you think mood effects how you respond to posts on this site?

    It definitely effects it, especially if it catches memoff guard. Usually I don't post if I'm in a particularly bad mood, or if I do I try and zoom out and just give vague assertions or emotionless facts rather than my actual, personalised opinion.

    I rarely respond with anything beyond facts or suggestions that seem logical so mood rarely has an effect, but I'd be lying if I said it never did. I'm still human.

    Yes, definitely. I guess I'd never really thought about it, but it so does!

    My opinions are mostly based on basic believes and ethics that are not affected by my mood.
    What my mood definitely changes is my tone.

    I rarely use the internet when in a bad mood.
