    I just don’t understand why people go to the lengths they do as cyber bullies. Isn’t ignoring a person you detest a more reasonable method than investing all of that energy and time into doing petty nonsense?

      notifications… if they didn’t get notifications they wouldn’t know they got a reply and most likely wouldn’t engage again because theya re on to their next message of hate somewhere else. I’m sure they don’t sit there waiting for updates.

      a guy I knew years ago started a tshirt company that was purely focused on producing tshirts for emo bands (so I’m talking like early 00s) he was quite successful but man the absolute hate he would get on myspace was insane. just from Emo kids that for whatever reason hated the fact that bands were coming to him to produce their merch. I asked him doesn’t it bother him that these kids in like Ohio are grilling him daily for stupid reasons and he said “If people are hating on you for what you do with your life, they just hate their own. Misery loves company.” So it didn’t get to him. He knew all these people that were bullying him online were much worse off in life than he was so why should he care?

      Unfortunately not everyone sees or realizes this and then you have what happened with Sheets happen. But whenever I see someone online just go off on someone else constantly then I know that their life absolutely sucks and they want to bring down anyone they can with them.
