Maybe I'm just "hanging out" with the wrong crowd, but most people I've seen in chats have been very mean to each other. It makes me wonder if they actually have any issues or if they're just there to mess with people and pick on those who are suffering.
Some of them will say that they can't talk much in public because of their anxiety, but in these chats they have no problem insulting each other. Some of it includes video where some users can broadcast a webcam. I guess in a way you're almost saying this to someone's face but they still feel like they can hide behind a computer screen even with the other person knowing what they look like.
Is this always going to be an issue that never goes away just because it's the internet? Sometimes I'd like to think that there are genuinely nice people I might meet every once in a while so that I don't have to assume that everyone on the internet is an a-hole or a d-bag.
