8 Things To Do When You Feel Outraged Online

Internet outrage is a real thing. It happens to thousands of people every day across comment sections, message boards, and social media.

Just follow these simple steps:

6. Now go try explaining what you’re so upset about to one of your friends. This needs to be a real life friend, not over text or on another message board. You’ll start to notice a confused look upon their face.

7. You just had a realization! I’m upset about something that doesn’t matter at all! Or if it does matter, my internet outrage isn’t helping anyone. Donating or volunteering to a charity might help, but not this.

8. Live your life. If you want, run into the forest and spin in the sunlight, like this lady. You’re free! TC Mark
