How To Know When To Be Offended On The Internet: An Infographic

By Jamie Varon,
Everywhere you go on the internet, there’s this sense of outrage. Everybody is upset about everything! But, like, couldn’t we possibly be using that energy for something that’s worthwhile instead of just being upset about inconsequential things that probably have no bearing on our lives at all? I’ve devised this very helpful guide to help you understand whether or not your outrage is warranted. You’re so welcome.

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
