Is it normal i treat internet comments as more important than what they are?

I give way too much weight to internet comments. If I read a comment that angers or upsets me, I will think about it all the time. I become kind of paranoid, thinking nearly everyone I come in contact with has seen it and upvoted it. Or that it's a widely held opinion that most people agree with, even if it's blatantly wrong. I think somehow this is going to affect me and the world. I know it won't but I can't shake the feeling.

I sometimes do this with stuff I've heard offline too. Even if it's just one random person I'll never see again.

    I know the feeling. If it really bothers you then avoid pages and sub-categories that tend to provoke you the most. No matter what your opinion is there will always be someone who disagrees with it

    I sometimes feel the same way, except I feel it about my own comments, and it's a feeling of fear and regret as I find numerous ways that I disagree and am horrified with whatever it was that I just said

    Doesnt sound good. If people make comments that stress you out you ought to just block their accounts.

    • It's not just a few people, it's usually multiple people across the site.

        I have 5+ people blocked. If someone seems snooty or something annoying I block them. This site is supposed to be for fun not annoying

        • It's a different site for me. And if you speak up against it, you'll be dogpiled. I suppose it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things and I can always stop using the site, but it just bothers me.

    You do realise that at base level people’s words are just marks on a page or random noises coming from their mouth holes...

    Yes in some ways it is normal to see them as a more important.
