Why do older people (+40) act the most immature on social media?

[Filthy_Immigrant]

I started using the internet back in the late 90s and since then I always noticed that people in their 40s and over are usually the ones who act the most immature online.

people in this age group are usually the ones who troll the most. whenever you disagree with them or you post something they disagree with on social media they become vindictive and treat you like a bully who just stoled their lunch money. either that or when you proof them wrong and they realize they are wrong they will result to using antaginizing tactics to get you annoyed and then claim the victory is their's for making you loose your cool.

lastly these are the group of people who usually act the most authoritarian. they think they seen it all, been through it all and have the right to demand respect from everyone they look down upon. its like wtf is wrong with these people? does the internet make them feel more secure at being who they really are? are they tired of being mature in the real world?

People say that taking anything on social media as serious is just being chronically online but the Internet just exposes everyone's true personality. Since they don't do or say things directly in front of other people's faces or can say anything anonymously. That's why you see more racists, misogynists, rad fems etc online than in the real world where people usually hide their worst sides.

And the older people who act like that are probably going through a midlife crisis.

They are in their mid life crisis era so they act like big babies. I notice people that age even irl are hard to deal with. Typically the Karen's of the world 😆

Because we are actually mentally like kids, the older we get the younger we get. The problems in life knock us down, so we resort back to our childhood to calm us down and we go back in time and think of all the fun things that we did and how life was so simple back then

Yeah don’t know. They wile away years back when people aren’t bitching about their rights. Then voting for a gasbag for president. I’m guessing it’s all interconnected.

[Filthy_Immigrant]

absolutely not.

I been on this site for 14 years and even back then when we were all brainwashed by Obama there were people your age who used to do everything I mentioned above so it has nothing to do with politics. though I'm pretty sure you wish it did
