> people use social media to find their tribe and, regrettably, find outgroups to isolate from and criticize
Yeah some people are very ridiculous in this way.
The other day someone responded to one of my TikTok videos with a video of his own.
He apparently had some sort of problem with the fact that I enjoyed something, that he enjoyed too, but which he thought I was too enthusiastic about.
In his video he told me that I need to go outside and experience the real world, instead of thinking my hobby was important.
As you can tell I am annoyed by this. Otherwise I would not be talking about it now.
Anyway. If he had taken time to visit my profile, instead of going off telling me his opinions based off of one video he saw. He’d have found that I am already spending a lot of time outside. He’d have seen that I am traveling, visiting countries, experiencing the world.
What an annoying moron that guy was.
I didn’t respond to him, because I won’t give him the satisfaction of knowing that his rude expressions affected me in any way. But I wish he’d just stay away from social media in the first place, instead of coming there to shit on one of my videos.
