I have a similar theory. That, in social media, we touch a different part of a person, than, say, irl.
I think that when we read, or we're on the computer, we are in a kind of trance. Our unconscious self is exposed.
It expresses itself, we all harbor a lot of dark feelings. And we are reactive. It's not a rational self. It's a self that gropes for the good stuff and kicks against the bad stuff and that's about it. Like an animal.
It is also exposed and vulnerable. So when the flame hits we feel it deeply.
I imagine us all to be like that demon in The Exorcist. A raging ego trapped in a world of words. Playing mind games. And when we are told that it's holy water, it burns just fine.
