The internet demands too much empathy
Oftentimes people voice the thought that the facelessness of the internet has ruined empathy as it makes it easier to be mean. Which in itself is true, I myself am much more vocal on the internet and often I'm just an asshole to randos for the love of the game or to detox from a frustrating day, but to me it also seems like everyone is trying to impose on our empathy constantly. I view my empathy as a limited supply that i usually reserve for people who I'm closer with. like obviously when bad thing happens I do understand that bad thing is bad thing but I just don't want to spend my emotional supply on the latest tragic story, and the way the internet is I feel like a bad guy for it.
