I have noticed that there seems to be more negativity on the internet. As a webmaster if your sites are climbing and doing good, making sales. Sharing that information will get you many responses on how you must be cheating, stealing and doing things dishonest is the reason your doing good. Hardly ever a comment on how your hard work is finally paying off and people expressing praise.
At the same time if your business is not doing good and you share that info you will get many responses about how you are fucking up and doing this ,that and the other wrong. Rarely will you get a response that will assist you and with some helpful advice and encourage you to make a change here or there and keep plugging away.
Doing business on the internet is about the same as jumping into the alligator pit at the zoo. And many that you converse with want to keep you in the pits.
The other thing I see that brings so much negativity is just as has been expressed in this thread, misery loves company. And miserable people who have miserable lives seem to get on the computer and get lost in the false reality that the internet is a savior for their miserable lives and that they are now something other than a miserable soul. Because they are now hiding behind the illusion that those that they happen to interact with on the internet cannot see in reality the real miserable person they are. People seem to have the false sense that they can be what ever they want to be hiding at their desk behind their screen. When the reality is that the miserable, negative person that they really are comes out in the things they say and how they say them. And if you do not understand that this is the way it is on the internet then you too are destined to be pulled down into the miserable world so many seem to love to live in.
The internet can be a good reality to interact in. As long as you have a real life outside and in addition to it. The internet being the central reality in your life will leave you lost with no grip on reality if someone happens to flip the switch off or you forget to pay your electric bill.
There is a psychology to everything in life and understanding the psychology behind the internet can lead you to the positive life enhancing benefits of the internet. True understanding and knowing who your friends are will also give you benefits from the herd effect.
Just my thoughts...
