Taking a break from the Internet?

[~ True Legend ~]

I try to spend less time online, too much news and politics can damage mental health... learnt the hard way. And sometimes when you're on a forum for too long you start getting furious when someone disagrees and talk bleep you regret. At least that's it for me.

I skateboard for around half an hour everyday. That exercises really empowers you, improving your well-being. Trust me.

I never get furious with anyone on forums. Even trolls. Its just words on a screen.

Oh yeah. Sometimes I just can't stand the stuff I read online, especially Facebook and Twitter. I just go completely offline for weeks, in some cases, a month or two. Right now I have FB deactivated because I'm sick of it.

I get sick of certain people on FB. I love that "Snooze for 30 days" feature they have. If someone is being annoying (usually my brother), I'll hit that and *poof* they're gone for a month.

That and the block feature, both are helpful. Before I deactivated my page, I was hiding pages, blocking people, and what not. The trolling and people having a need to have the last word of annoying conversations is just so lame.

I try not to. I just walk away and don’t engage because it’s not a productive use of my time.

I also remember that what you may see as a troll may be the person just being themselves. Some ppl are curt or sarcastic and I think it’s good to accept everyone for who they are. Personally? I loathe conflict and I react sarcastically to it, I’m trying to lighten the mood but others may see it as taking the piss. That’s what I like about OT - we can just be ourselves 🥰 💜

I know that feeling. It's good to be in the loop if you wish to on politics and news, but reading too much up on it can really mess with your mental health. In those cases I just stay clear from whatever community for a bit, and come back when my mind is clearer.
