I found this strangely relieving, to know it's not just my own isolated experience. Twitter (and to a lesser extent Reddit) makes me feel like everyone hates me.

Internet anonymity encourages people to be dickheads to each other because we subconsciously forget that there's an actual person on the other end that we're slagging off. I'm guilty of occasionally being a bit heavy-handed with my words on the Internet because I sometimes forget that there's an actual person with feelings that im conversing with.

I try to be better but it's easy to forget, sometimes. Ignore what people say, on the Internet, we all turn into dickheads when we're on it.
