Just wondering as there are some people toxic either online or itl, but are the people online just as toxic as they are online or are they a different person irl?

Hopefully this post makes some sense.

    They can, but it is less likely. I generally find work interactions are nicer if the interactions are in person than over written text.

      Filters are generally stronger when paychecks are involved. That said, there are definitely people who don’t trust others they’ve only met virtually. On the flip side I’ve found people who I’ve met in person are then more apt to share their more extreme views with me online even in a work setting. It is a fascinating psychological and sociological phenomenon.
