do "angry" people on imageboards hurt anybody?

Angry people lie and say theyre just being sardonic and sarcastic bro when they actually have an anger theyre channeling

People are in fucking denial when it comes to this shit, I noticed. I KNOW I am being angry when I do certain stuff, I know others are too, but somehow everyone is just this c ool collected calm person over the screen ?Yeah right

I hate the internet.

… Considering there's been many chan board related murders, assaults, doxxings, harassment campaigns, stalkings, and mass shootings, yes. Yes they do sometimes.

not lc though

Coming here made me realise just how much anger I've repressed when it comes to men. It's a good outlet though

Bitchy anger directed at other anons baffles me. I've had anons accuse me of being responsible for posts that aren't mine and I'm like what? That's the problem with directing anger at people when you don't even have a username to keep track lol

I was/am super repressed from learned powerlessness and growing up shamed for expressing any kind of emotions besides neutral.

even tho anons being super angry all the time is really toxic, imageboards let me let out all my negative, crazy emotions so no one irl really knows how bad my mental health got and I can move on to a more positive life.

I post less and think twice more now, especially if it's a heated response, I can't help but think about the more mentally fragile anons who internalize the negativity people like me shit out online.

i used to get into fights in school, even with boys much bigger than me. i always lost, but i craved being able to hurt others that way, years of bullying and being shoved into actual lockers (what a fucking cliche). and then i got on the internet and just let loose.
over the years it has transformed to man-hate at all giving times and pointed messages, but never the same heated shit i used to do.

i still miss getting my blood pumping and blacking out from fights, not knowing what the fuck happened.

I am venezuelan so i have about a million reasons to be pissed at everything. Almost everyone i know has left or died the last few years so i spend a lot of time alone nd sometimes i am literally just really hungry so going online with my shitty internet and venting about drama stuff for a few hours distracts me from this hellhole.

im your typical cynical about the world misanthropic edgelord lol

I was born angry. When I was a baby/toddler I used to bite everyone. Having harsh life didn't exactly help but I still have gotten better with age.

shut up incel

im not angry, i unironically like lolcow and think most of you are great. i think i have autism though so that explains why im here

I'm not an angry anon, I'm actually quite passive when it comes to a lot of the bullshit on here. Obviously the angry ones will be more vocal than the others and because we're all anon it's easy to assume it's multiple anons rather than a few. I don't know how they get so riled up and passionate over the stupidest shit though.

I'm making up for generations of mothers and sisters who got literal and figurative lobotomy for being angry

Notice how 99% (if not 100%) of those happen in relation to boards filled with incels, not places like Lolcow or PULL.
Really makes you question the nature of things.

Same. Some of my earliest memories are realizing I can use weapons now and can't go about attacking people like a wild dog beacuse I'll seriously hurt them and then they'll seriously hurt me.

I don't think I get angry anymore?
I don't have any real way to vent frustrations through violence or insults because I don't want to be labeled as violent and I can never come up with things that are decent to say at the time
I just kinda let things go and sometimes if I'm lucky they'll stew and I'll just get depressed about it

years of abusive relationships and narc parenting has turned me retarded, unfortunately

It's nothing I redirect on the internet per se, but in real life I've always been made to feel like whatever I've done isn't good enough (narcissistic parents, fake friends, user exes), and that for my flaws–no matter how inconsequential–I'm treated as if I'm the worst of the worst.

Meanwhile, I get on the internet to browse places like lolcow. I see how legitimately horrible e-people actually wind up doing pretty okay for themselves, considering how some have never actually worked for anything they have. At least outwardly, they all seem so proud of themselves and assured that they deserve the best. People who've done worse shit than I could ever imagine doing to other human beings. Sociopaths, bullies, narcissists, racists, sexists, drug addicts, animal abusers, etc. With the only downside being that they get picked on a little on the internet in exchange for their efame and the luxuries and attention that it brought them.
Am I angry at these internet cows who I will never ever meet? No, I'm angry at the pieces of shit in my life who've chronically undervalued me, gave me the evil eye, and did everything they could to make sure I never surpass them because god forbid I'd turned out as happy as these lolcows are with themselves.
They don't have a clue how lucky they are to have had opportunities handed to them that they've taken for granted, or to have unconditional support from their echo chambers who'd want nothing but the best for them despite the things they've said and done.

It all just makes me stop and question why I ever really tried in the first place if this was going to be the endgame. If, for all my efforts, I'd still be struggling like this. While shitty people in the world seem to be the ones who get rewarded and who people admire.
The only thought that grounds me from being angry all the time is telling myself that I can only do my best with the hand that I've been dealt. That someone else doing better than me for whatever reasons ultimately doesn't matter in the cosmos.
Just wish I didn't feel so put down is all. Worst of all is knowing it's not something I particularly did: It was just being born to the wrong people, growing up in the wrong places, and befriending the wrong folks because I didn't know the rules.

I'm not angry irl and have nothing in my life to be mad about. But if I go somewhere online full of shitty, negative things (eg reading things men say/do in the pink pill thread) I'll get pissed and vent. It doesn't hurt to get it all out sometimes and I think it's the bare minimum they deserve, I can easily fix my mood with other things.

IRL I'm quite a quiet person because most people don't make me want to engage with them; when I do I tend to regret it because interactions always feel so unsatisfying. I unironically would make a good dictator, but I'm not sure that makes me angry - just strongly opinionated and not a bleeding heart.

I'm angry I could have been successful and confident if it weren't for my mom's ex husband, generally men harassing me and girls bullying me for my looks.
I let myself get ruined by idiots and now I struggle for every little thing regardless of my looks and real capabilities.

I have a similar feeling, anon. I think some of us are moral and sensible people naturally, we have those traits ingrained in our personalities and we are also teached by society that we must do good and be good and that such things as karma and fairness exist and that we will be rewarded. The only way you can be rewarded from doing good and being attuned to morals is by having integrity and a clean consciousness.
A lot of people on this planet are born with less sensibility and empathy and with little feelings of remorse or self-awareness and ironically those kind of people get very far in life because they only see their goal and most of the time their goal is centered around their own well being. They don't care how much wrong they do because they don't even have the emotional capacity to be aware of it. Unfortunately, these kind of people are meant to strive in our capitalist society. Sincerity doesn't count (only on a personal level) it's all about how you pull the strings, it's a stupid game some people are designed to play very well. Fairness doesn't exist in our world even if it's tried to be established by law or social moral values, the law can only do so much and the people of our society on average are often not very intelligent and refuse to see behind appearances. This is our world, as chaotic as it may be.
A mad world where the guilty are praised and the innocent are punished.

i'm not tho. i'm happy, have great friends and a career and live alone. i'm doing great! i just treat this site like a reality tv show. it's trashy drama and it's entertaining, lol.
