I'm not so good at isolating myself from internet emotions...
I’m that way with the news. Always something about someone screwing over someone else. Makes me want to hurt people but not be able to act on it which I find very frustrating. One of the best things I ever did in my life was to almost completely stop watching/listening/reading the news (except sometimes NPR/BBC when driving). My frustration level is way down and I’ve recovered what I now consider to have been a hour or more of wasted life every day. If anything really important happens I figure I’ll find out about it.
Two of the other best things I’ve done was to throw away my watch (about 25 years ago) and not own a cell phone. Two less things to control my life.
