Is it normal to be so vicious

I've been reading this site for quite some time. Why are some people so vicious to each other? Is it because they are anonymous and their true self is coming out? Or, thats the just the way they are. Curious...

    Cowards are what they are.

    If the y don't dare to be like that in real life, then they shouldn't do it here as well.

    Being a jerk is bad anyways. Being nice is a win win situation for everyone, you help them, you get respect.

    Everyone is vicious when they are anonymous. That's why everybody talks shit about everyone they know behind their backs. Anonymity means the threat of consequence is non-existent, therefore any individual would remove their inhibitions and expose all that is and was repressed. Basically everyone's an asshole at heart, It just takes a lack of consequence to expose it.

  • They are probably mean in real life too, they just act nice so they won't get their ass kicked :D

  • The people who are vicious online are actually vicious in person, they're just too cowardly to show it in person because they'd probably get the crap beaten out of them.

    i think people take out their frustrations in any way they can, sort of a form of passive aggressiveness. it bothers and confuses me too. i think most people have a lot of anger inside of them that they dont know what to do with.

    Anonymity seems to let their low self esteem issues come out. Not to mention control trips and immaturity.

  • Yea, I realize this too. The people on this site/app don't have the balls to say mean things to people in real life, so they swear and make fun of people here because they think it makes the cool.
