A question .."Do things on the internet upset you that you wish you didn't have it?

[Stuart G]

I think that this is becoming true for me. Too much time on the net is not all that good for me. Sometimes very upsetting..

1. I just go to a different part of the internet for a change of pace

If I start getting upset, like I can here at DU, I go to needlework sites, watch cat videos on YouTube (Simon's Cat or TheMeanKitty), read stories of idiotic customers at Not Always Right, or just cruise around to find something new.

There are plenty of options!

2. Absolutely, Stuart G

I have to temper my natural curiosity with my "need to know."

I read OP titles on DU that are very upsetting-- all I can do is ignore them.

Sometimes I am overwhelmed by too much input-- it's not good for me-- when that happens, I step back.

I'm glad I'm not the only one!

3. That's when I watch a good comedy on Netflix.

4. Blessing and a curse.

You just have to know when to step away and take a break, and not subject yourself to too much negativity at a time.
