Reaction: I just LOVE it when so-called “friends” on social media are dismissive of my beliefs, ideas, concerns. Oh, sorry, I forgot that your tastes are superior and trump any issues that I may have with this person/ music/ art/ artist.
Action: And then I stop, breathe, realize that I haven’t actually had any IRL interaction with this person in years, that they have zero impact on my life, and that, when it comes right down to it, I don’t really care what they think of me. And I laugh. And move on with my day. Because this is not life or death, it’s all kind of silly or stupid, and I really need to focus my energy on more important things. Social media is a very weird place. If I let it get to me or take it personally I will not like myself or other people very much.
