Hello, this is my first post here because I just want to talk about this.
I am a gamer and someone who uses the internet a lot, which means I have encountered tons of toxicity online. This is totally normal for the internet and people just ignore the toxicity if they come across it, or they try to fight other people (which doesn't actually do anything lol). So anyway, recently I have been looking back at things I said, and I keep getting anxiety about these things I said. A very limited amount of people on the internet I have said "kill yourself" or "kys" to just because they were being jerks to me or I just felt like being a jerk. Keep in mind, these were all just for a dumb internet argument and I didn't actually mean what I said. I know that they just ignored it because that is what everyone on the internet does, but I keep getting anxiety that someone actually killed themselves or hurt themselves based on what I said. Due to this anxiety, I have been working on being less of a troll and jerk online and being kinder to people. I think the internet makes it super easy to be a jerk because you are hiding behind a computer screen. Any tips on how I can deal with this?
