Is it normal that i seek out contentious opinions to relieve anxiety?
Now and again I actively seek out written opinions or ideas on the Net which I am either strongly in disagreement with, or have some kind of reactionary emotional response to viewing. I will not simply roll my eyes and move on; I have a morbid curiosity toward contentious or extremist views regarding things I care about even slightly. However, I typically don't respond, argue, or otherwise engage any of these writings/postings despite reading them voraciously. Is this at all a normal thing to do?
