I try to moderate myself in the face of arguments, trolls, or downvotes on my opinions by remembering that I'm here for entertainment value first and education as a close second in the relevant subs.

You can't take what other people think too seriously. I'm not saying be an asshole; rather, there are more important things in life deserving of your time and attention than the Internet. If it's not making you happy, move on.

    To add on to this. If social media is making you feel terrible, hateful, sad, or like you have no control, then you have to take a break from it. It doesn’t have to be along one, and you can come back later, but I see many people on the internet stuck in this trap which ruins their mental health. Social media is supposed to be a tool to help you connect with others and entertain you, not make you feel scared or anxious at the world.
