"If it ignites an emotional reaction within you, it’s super easy to just jump on the keyboard and type away."
I think of the 10:10:10 rule [we were taught in high school]. Wait 10 seconds before you respond. Then think about how it will make you feel in 10 minutes, or 10 days. And if it doesn’t have an effect on you in 10 days it’s probably not even worth posting about. But just the initial period of just waiting before you post it – it gives you time to calm down and maybe even think ‘Maybe this isn’t what was intended’. If it ignites an emotional reaction within you, it’s super easy to just jump on the keyboard and type. - Ahulia
