Have you ever done the “right thing”, at least according to your cognitive brain – put the knife back in the drawer, not send the email – but yet feel the burn of <
insert emotion> that would consume more energy and time than you’d like? The truth is, suppressed <
insert emotion> would have to come out one way or the other; some people take it out on the treadmill or worse still, clueless family and friends, some people go for therapy (like me), while others take it out online.
In most cases, people would rather sweep these emotions under the carpet than own and process them. Sweeping these emotions under the carpet however, is only a stop gap measure for keeping the peace, until comes the point of no return when “you can’t take it anymore” and having a hissing bitch fit seems the only way to get it out of your system.
Social media, knowingly or unknowingly, has the ability to expose all the chips that you’ve been carrying on your shoulder from the moment that you were born. All the slights and hurts that you’ve had to swallow or brush off from as early as you can remember, from being harassed by peers of a certain race/ gender/ religion, to being unfairly treated by an authority figure of a certain race / gender/ religion and hundreds of other incidents besides are all embedded as emotions somewhere in your psyche, ready to warn you in the in the form of a headache, a twist in the stomach or even the urge to cause physical harm whenever you come across a similar situation. While you may feel these same emotions no matter the trigger – online or offline – more often than not, you’re more likely to act on them online than when in a face-to-face interaction.
