Do people online piss you off?
I can get annoyed easily, but most of the time people online don't do that for me, it can only happen when they should know me better by being more or less a friend, and then by what they say are thus admitting they don't know me at all.

OP, what's up, something happen?
It is somewhat vexing when you cannot talk to people as if they were intelligent, well-educated folks.
There are way too many people online who cannot understand even a slightly sophisticated reasoning.

I do get exasperated by the juvenile slang/turns of phrase online sometimes — on Reddit, mainly — and especially dislike the redundant ‘lol’ sprinkled everywhere (ended up reading a study on it and was horrified that people use it to ‘soften statements’ and come off as ‘lighthearted’).
I don’t have social media apart from that and LinkedIn, so my sanity is relatively intact when it comes to all things internet.
But beyond that, yeah, I often feel I’m on the ‘wrong’ side of almost any debate/conversation. When I was a kid, I’m sure people assumed it was posturing, but I still tend to feel really, really differently about things than most people, in a sad rather than edgy way, and that does feel isolating, especially online where the chasm is vast and the contrast overly obvious. I’m always rooting for the wrong characters/outcomes/things, I suppose.
I notice I’ve stopped debating as much partly to get away from that feeling.

Many years on the internet have hardened my skin, but it happens that people online piss me off. It’s much more rare these days though. But years back I could definitely be affected too much with idiots online. It wasn’t healthy.
Sometimes it also depends on the idiot… Is it a coherent idiot that just needs correction or is it an utter imbecile with a pathetic online persona trying to stir things up for the sake of it. The latter I will not care one bit about. The former I might give a go and I might get more frustrated about their idiocy than straight up pissed at them.

It used to happen a lot. Then a few years back I stopped really getting pissed at online people, although I'd still get unhappy. Now I don't get pissed that often in general, especially online. I can't remember the last time someone online pissed me off. I get annoyed sometimes, and when that happens I move to something else and avoid the aggravating thing. Getting angry at anything is a waste of energy, online or off, so I have decided not to get pissed at anything.

I hate insomnia. Oh yeah. Last year I had four cases of it, and each time it lasted three months.

Every member of this forum pisses me off. Except for whoever thinks Wavelength is a masterpiece.

Online? Oh heck, how about near everybody and everything bugs me, the world bugs me - being annoyed by twits online is only the tip of the iceberg, and minor by comparison.
