LLama3 sez true things about this I think
The phenomenon of denial or gaslighting on social media is not uncommon, unfortunately. With the rise of online interactions, it's become more challenging for people to navigate conflicts and difficult conversations in a constructive manner.
Denial or gaslighting on social media can take many forms, such as:
1. **Deleting or editing comments**: People might delete their own comments or edit them to make it seem like they never said something hurtful.
2. **Denying responsibility**: Someone might claim they didn't mean to say something offensive or that they were "just joking."
3. **Gaslighting**: This is a more insidious tactic where someone tries to manipulate your perception of reality, making you question your own memories or feelings.
The fact that you can scroll back and see the original post makes it even more difficult for them to deny what was said. It's as if they're trying to rewrite history!
This behavior can be particularly challenging because:
1. **It's hard to confront someone online**: You might feel intimidated or unsure of how to address the issue directly.
2. **The anonymity of the internet**: People may feel more comfortable being dishonest or cruel when hiding behind a screen name or profile picture.
3. **The lack of nonverbal cues**: Online interactions often lack facial expressions, tone of voice, and other nonverbal cues that can help convey empathy or understanding.
When dealing with denial or gaslighting on social media:
1. **Take a deep breath and don't engage**: Avoid getting drawn into an argument or debate.
2. **Block or mute them if necessary**: If the behavior is causing you emotional distress, consider blocking or muting the person to protect your well-being.
3. **Surround yourself with positivity**: Focus on building relationships with people who uplift and support you.
4. **Practice self-care**: Take care of your mental health by engaging in activities that bring you joy, practicing mindfulness, and seeking help when needed.
Remember, you don't have to tolerate behavior that makes you feel uncomfortable or unhappy. Prioritize your emotional well-being and take steps to protect yourself from negativity online.
Yea I'd have to very much agree with most if not all of it.
but . . . easier to clown and block
Yea I found myself in one of these idiot fests yesterday and I had fun with it for a bit, but turned into a simp fest white knighting for some crazy chick so ended blocking all of em. Can only deal with that crap so much
That thread you are in about Noshole leaving nostr. She was one of the people who came at me unprovoked talking shit then playing victim I had mentioned, and now got a whole thread of simps acting tough and talking shit about me. Those people are all fucking snakes. All started with Rabble and his snitch not and with me calling it out for what it is, and a certain female came running her mouth then tagged noshole in and she had to talk shit. So, yea I know all about the gaslighting narcissists on nostr. That thread is full of them
