Online interactions, especially on platforms like Twitter, are legitimate forms of communication that significantly impact individuals' perceptions and mental health. The belief that these interactions don't constitute 'real life' fosters a dangerous detachment from accountability and can lead to sociopathic behavior, where individuals disregard the emotional impact of their words. This detachment contributes to elevated anxiety levels for those immersed in online conflicts, creating a distorted perception of reality where perpetual conflict feels normal. Such a mindset further fuels polarization, as individuals cling to propaganda that aligns with their views, framing their engagement in moral battles where both sides see themselves as the protagonists.
