CHALLENGE #1 What do I think


Welcome to my first story!

Previously I made a post with 10 tasks I challenge myself to complete, so it's time to reveal the truth about the first one!!

I would like to remind you, that every person is unique and is living the life we don't usually know much about. Some tasks may seem not challenging enough for you, but for some people they are tough!
The first challenge I dared myself to do is to initiate a discussion in a comment section.
Feeling ill at ease non-stop in my life I am also not a kind of person who usually leaves loads of comments, just because I don't have such need
At the same time, I can feel a little bit allienated and missing something..
That's why I decided to try it
As it is quite uncomfortable to debate with people, especially in Internet, because internet is a place where you are surrounded by complete strangers, which are not filtered, i don't feel safer here,
comment section contains irrational cruelty and aggression, because other people somehow do feel safer.
I also decided to do it, because I wanted to be able to prove my point of view, give clear and correct arguments, control myself, in reality sometimes we cannot shut the door and protect ourselves from negative reactions.
And because why do I care??
So I took all my knowledge of netiquette and went to the community in Vkontakte devoted to a TV series. People there are not very kind and you can expect anything from them.
So I wrote a big comment, that
I don't like the character everyone seemed to like. Several people immediately started being rude, the rest were more gentle and asked me questions. So I replied and gave arguments, why I thought so.
Gradually it became more bearable and less stressful, aggressors didn't get the desired reaction and we finally had an interesting conversation with some participants. I found out that I was not alone in my opinion, which I certainly knew, but did not experience it as a sense of togetherness, at the same time, other points of view helped me look at the situation from different angles. And that is the point of discussions and diversity!,Imagine the world without comments!
Moreover, I was not pretending, I told what I really meant. And get replies on your real feelings and thoughts was challenging. Who knows, maybe nowadays being sincere IS a real challenge.
