Do you believe this is true?

People in general are more likely to comment online when they feel bad about a certain topic and less likely to comment compared to when they feel good about a certain topic.

To be honest I think the online part of the question makes both negative and positive more likely in general.


That being said people the world over whether online or not almost always see the negatives first. For the human brain this is known as ‘negative bias’ , we are wired to see danger before we see sunshine and rainbows … it’s what keeps us alive !!

Almost but instead of "feel," it is "when they repress a bad feeling than when they repress a good feeling". Because we desperately try to run away from bad feelings so much we attack the triggers. And anyone who runs away from sorrow is guaranteed create shitshows in real life too.

Yes, at the college where I teach the students can evaluate the professors. A few years ago the students filled out anonymous evaluation forms t the end of every semester. Now they do it voluntarily on line and as a result there may be 2 or 3 that bother and they are usually students with a complaint.

There is truth to that because we take the good things for granted. But read and listen to interviews of the World Cup visitors. Unlike the lefty morons on this site, they recognize and extol the gtratness of the USA without hesitation. Those lefty morons are unhappy unless they are unhappy. Most of them have been quiet lately because Trump has worn them out. Its been blissful. Only few desperate megamorons are hanging on. You know who you are.

This is a highly controversial and embarrassing topic. I understand why you felt the need to post this highly contentious question anonymously from your fake pink account.

Good luck with this difficult subject.

not exactly. most people are keyboard warriors. they write to trigger others and laugh.

or to sway opinion for politics. that is why they write and complain.

I 100% agree. I'm stressed out right now and I keep feeling the urge to comment on everything.

Yeah, this place is a good example, the negativity outweighs the positive
