In the difficult situation that is currently taking place, the first thing to understand is that behind most of the comments, especially a certain direction, there are specially trained people – “bots”. We live in an era of “information wars” and propaganda, of course both happen on both sides, so starting to respond to statements that you do not like, you should understand that in most cases you answer not to a “live” person, but to someone who specifically came here to convey only their tasks and assess the situation that he was instructed to give.
Therefore, before you react sharply to something and get into verbal squabbles, think about the fact that you are probably not a real opponent, but someone who came here to just declare some remark, so that an endless “holywar” is formed under it, in which people with different opinions and different values will meet. You will never prove anything to the hater, because he doesn’t need your evidence, his task is to quarrel everyone around so that people never find a common language, and piss you off. So act wisely:
- Don’t give in to provocations and don’t lose your mind.
- If you understand that you have a hater in front of you – a person who is just trying to bring you to emotions, answer him as briefly and very politely as possible and close this dialogue for yourself.
- In conclusion, send the person to the “black list.”
- Ideally, try to read less comments under the posts.
The situation now is really difficult: people are irritated, nervous, panic, and behave not always beautifully. Keeping calm, especially on social networks, is not easy. Therefore, spend less time on social networks, and more with your loved ones, in addition, you can find out the news on other platforms, and not only where there is an opportunity for open hate and holivar in the comments.
Remember that when you get into a skirmish, you don’t do better than anyone, including yourself. You won’t prove anything to anyone, and you’ll be nervous and worried even more. It is unlikely that you set yourself such a goal by opening comments. Most likely, you want to find like-minded people – so find them and correspond with them. So the nerves will be stronger, and you will feel support.
Plus, from a purely psychological point of view, you need to understand that by participating in such discussions, you lose more than you gain, because you spend your energy on a person who does not deserve it. If you feel the need to express your opinion, do it, but do not get into skirmish and discussions. Be able to stop in time. To date, the ability to stop in time until everything has gone too far – in my opinion, a very valuable quality.
