Fearless on Social Media Part 2

Here is part 2 as promised.

First let me start with this: I am not declaring a political party on this site. I will keep most of my political opinions to myself. But I am shaking my head over the fearlessness of people on social media regarding the way they speak about the President of the United States. I saw it with Obama and I see it again with Trump. When did it become o.k. to stop being respectful of the office? I get it, you don’t like the person, you voted and your person/party lost. (If you didn’t vote, then really?) But how does the shaming and name calling of the commander in chief make any difference? Its easy to be fearless on social media isn’t it. **I had this written and then a friend on Facebook said something about Brain Dead Democrats. I wanted to add this just to be very clear, I don’t understand any of this name calling. I have a hard time believing that this same friend would be that bold if we were out to dinner with a group of people and he didn’t know who backed what party. I really believe he would filter himself…. but not on social media. The person he debated with did not use name calling – well done!

Next: Thank you to my guy friends for being fearless and liking my blog I really appreciate it! My site could be seen as girlie but some of you “liked away.” Now to the guy who asked me out, thank you for thinking I am interesting enough to want to date. Thank you for also wishing me well when you found out I am NOT available. Don’t ask who he is I am not going to give his name, I don’t want to get sued. This type of fearlessness unfortunately did not shock me completely but what did is that it took less than 48 hours of a live Facebook to get this invitation. It says in relationship on the left hand side. I posted pictures shortly thereafter. LOL

So tell me, what is it about social media that makes someone so fearless? I do believe that there is something unique about social media that makes people fearless, assertive, bold. Is it because rejection is behind a screen so you might as well go for it? If someone really ticks you off you can block them, unfriend them, delete them? Did catfishing happen before social media? That one really boggles my mind.

I’ve been reflecting on these questions I mean really talk about unpredictable! Some of my most quiet friends in real life have a ton to say on social media and its done is a fearless way. What do you think? What makes people (male & female) so fearless on social media? I know some of you share thoughts last week, I appreciate. I am wondering if there are any more or any more stories of unbelievable/unpredictable social media stories.
