Ex. Online arguments, friendships, dating, etc
Something can be taken seriously. But you better research the hell out of something before taking it seriously. Also social media should never be taken as a good source for facts or the truth in general. Because the simple truth is that social media is sheep leading sheep thanks how pervasive the illusory effect is on social media.
Also social media is addictive and can alter your perception of reality negatively. Studies have shown both time and time again. Influences might as well be dealers trying to sell others all the BS that is the internet. So if you wouldn't buy crack or meth from a drug dealer, don't buy what Influences are selling.

Quite the opposite. That’s a good thing. by the way there really isn’t such as thing as a “virtual” friendship unless you met the person in the past or have plans to meet them in the future. It’s a connection and sometimes a very beneficial one at that. But it’s not a friendship.
With all due respect you girls got to stop calling anybody or anything a “friend” just because you have some sort of positive connection with them (online or off). Men generally are much more selective and are slower to fully trust other people. We have a deeper commitment and loyalty to people we call “friends”. Some women will instantly block a “friend” just because some they wrote. Most men aren’t like that.
Anyway the only time it’s bad to act carefree is if you trolling someone who had a serious question. You might not like the question they asked (or just like getting under their skin) but if you troll them it will likely just either be ignored or piss them off and push then in the opposite direction.99.99% of the time I just tune out or block trolls. But every once in a blue moon they get a “lucky shot” and hit a deep nerve on something. It’s almost like they knew me personally to the point they could say something they know would hurt. Its sheer coincidence and very rare but it stung. Be careful.
Not bad at all, at least not completely. It definitely protects you from all sorts of people. It may scare off the good ones but than again, knowing genuine people online I believe is rare.
Not taking this online thing seriously is something I need to work on myself tbh
So, basically you think everything is a joke? You don’t seem to have any empathy with many I’m assuming. It’s not a bad thing at all it’s just something you need to work on. In short, you lack empathy and you have to see in order to believe apparently.

I think the only bad that should matter is if your lack of seriousness resulted in harm to others. If it doesn't, then it's not that bad.
No, you shouldn't take everything serious
Yes it's bad. People think that just because it's over the internet it's ok to ignore people, not respond to messages, not share photos with someone who they are emotionally invested in etc. It being "over the internet" invalidates it even though it's an actual human being on the other side. This is one of my biggest pet peeves. The internet is a blessing but to just constantly get totally tossed out like you're trash for literally no reason is one of the drawbacks. Not to mention the fact that you have keyboard warriors. Just being black results in the N word being tossed at me on a daily basis just because of my mere existence. I'm sure as a woman you probably deal with similar troubles being a woman (sexually)
It's not bad. Tbh, these days things get out of hand online. Too much toxicity, so it's understandable that you don't like anything online. I, myself, does social media detox from time to time. My feeds are filtered. I only wanna see things that give me positivity and inspiration, not the other way around. Don't feel sorry into doing something that will make you feel better. You do you.
There's nothing wrong with that when you're talking to people on mine when you're doing anything online it's an experience it's there to teach you to make you grow life is an experience so experience as much as you can and learn from it so let me ask you a question since you don't take anything serious online does that mean when people are talking to you that they shouldn't take you serious either
actually it is bad. it shows that you do not think of people online as human beings and indicates a possibility of doing the same to people close to you in person. all this if you worded as you meant it because the wording implies you do not take them seriously at all. however if you meant it as do not take as serious then it would sound like a healthy amount of self detachment.
You shouldn't take anything online seriously.
Especially this. I've got the notion that a hidden admin is bullying me online, commenting insults in my posts. Why I am saying that it's a hidden admin is because the account looks extraordinary with like 70 follows, 0 following 1000 superb
They don't do anything about it.
YES you should take it all serously... online is where everyone will live here in a few years... it will be our new reality so yes take it F seriously.
Not bad at all. I don't take anything online seriously either. Online is a cesspool full of ignoramuses that aren't worth your time and full of misinformation as well.
Lmao I don't take random people on the internet seriously either. I couldn't care less if a random stranger online want to argue. lol I don't add random people online. And I don't date random online people.
No, most people don't cause it's impossible to have a human connection to someone through a screen. It's better to meet face to face.
I don’t either, most people online lie so you can’t really believe most things being said, people on dating sites lie and post fake photos so it’s hard to trust any of them.
Probably a good idea about arguments. Friendships can be very real and dating can be real sometimes but a lot of times it doesn’t work out.
Nah. That’s honestly probably better for your mental health
The people online are the people offline. There isn't some magical race of internet dwelling people. So I'd be more concerned that your brain even seperates the two.
I only take online friendships seriously. Arguments devolve into Godwin's Law and I won't date anyone I don't know personally. We can be all but dating, but until I see them in person I will NEVER call them my girlfriend.
No. You waste your time and life for that shi
No, not at all. Online friendships and dating aren't for everyone (I personally can't get into them) and online arguments are just a waste of time.
I agree with you, everyone needs to be careful online, friendships, and dating, these are serious matters, No this isn't bad.
no, not at all, most shit online is as fake as it gets.
