The creators of the Comment Awards Instagram account probably thought the same when they started collecting the most hilarious posts from the internet. We’re nothing if not fans of skillfully crafted comments here at Bored Panda, so here are some posts from some truly funny people on the internet! Receiving negative comments about something you posted can be upsetting. However, most people seem to be pretty resilient to that, as only 20% of Americans have said that a negative comment has ruined their day. Interestingly, more than half also said they don’t care if they receive likes or not either. Behavioral psychologist Jo Hemmings explained to Hello! Magazine that the rules of normal social engagement go out the window online. “[People] lose a sense of responsibility and self-awareness – a process known as deindividuation – and their anonymity means that they have no need to regulate their behavior online. It’s similar to the way people might behave in a jeering crowd or as a football hooligan.” Psychotherapist Dr. Saima Muhammad Nawaz writes that people spreading negativity in comment sections are projecting their own insecurities. “By making negative comments, they may feel like they are deflecting attention away from their flaws,” she claims.
