Ehhh...I've had some good, loving connections on Fb - and I've had some viciously painful ones. One situation with a bullying group admin literally sent me IP. I just came apart.
I treasure this forum and wish it was more active. That said, there are plenty of times when I'm having a good day, come on this forum, and my day is ruined in a heartbeat by someone who is not a nice/supportive person. And sometimes that person is...the same person, who has repeatedly been snotty to me for no damned reason except that he's a real jerk. Strangely, he claims to be committed to his religion. Not a lovely example of a "religious" man. I have to tell myself, repeatedly, that his attitude is not about me.
I've been doing my best not to be online as much as I used to be. Whatever the format I get really tired of being hurt. There are times when I think back to the 80's and 90's before the internet and remember how much more peaceful AND productive my life was, in many ways. That said, I've made some wonderful connections online. But, yes, I need to limit the time I spend - and also learn to walk away instead of coming unglued when I have internet connection issues, which I've been having a lot lately.
Good, interesting thread.
