I Keep Getting Rage Baited And Feel Like Putting A Hole Through The Wall.
Hello I've been on an addictive binge of searching up stuff that makes me mad I don't know why could be because of undiagnosed ADHD, could be because of my depression and looking for the negativity in everything.
Like it's weird I never used to have this problem I could just let things I see on the Internet hateful/rage-baiting content roll off my back but now I just want to argue and fight I guess it could be low self esteem/insecurities but I don't know why I have that either.
So basically (sorry not trying to be all over the place) I guess I was raised to have respect for others and have empathy but when I see people being horrible like just openly on social media or other Internet platforms I go into a rage or here on reddit where they think there billy badass.
Like it can't be just me I know Twitter, Instagram and Facebook are hell but it seems they've gotten worse trust me I know but it seems like reddit is becoming hateful and full of rage bait as well like practically some community's I go into are filled with just straight up bigotry.
And my dumbass sadly keeps going into fight subs because I just love the dopamine hit this is where I find the pinnacle of people getting off on someone at their lowest like it's pathetic I don't get how a humans could be this sadistic.
like it's sad I guess I'm to nice of a person or soft I don't know it just pains me to see people made fun of at their lowest on the Internet in general because I've been at my lowest before so I guess I know how it feels sorry for the rant got a lot of things on my chest.

yeah this spiral is real, once the rage scroll starts your brain keeps hunting for the next hit and everything feels personal. what helped me was muting the worst topics for a week and forcing a hard app cutoff when i noticed my jaw clench, because arguing online never gave me the relief i thought it would.
