Is quarreling our human nature, especially on the internet?

I find that humans really like to argue, no matter which circle, there will always be arguments. Why do humans like to argue? In reality, I don't really enjoy arguing because I feel that arguing consumes a lot of energy and mental effort. I don't understand why some people enjoy arguing.

I think the main reason is that the internet gives people a sense of "invisibility." Imagine sitting in front of the computer, the keyboard clicking, and you feel like you're hiding behind a mask, free to express your true thoughts without worrying about the awkwardness and pressure of the real world, completely without accountability. This anonymity makes people dare to express their opinions, even saying things they wouldn't say in normal circumstances, planting the seeds for arguments.

Secondly, the internet provides an open discussion environment with endless information, various viewpoints, theories, and concepts colliding to spark debates. Of course, people have more opportunities and reasons to argue. Each person has their own stance and viewpoint, and the internet provides a stage for them to showcase and defend their opinions, leading to intense arguments on this platform every day. However, the quality of individuals on the internet varies, and some people escalate discussions into arguments, which is quite regrettable.

Moreover, in internet arguments, you often don't see the real person behind the opinions. So, the appearance and demeanor of others expressing their opinions are imagined by ourselves. Therefore, when someone questions or challenges our opinions, we often feel attacked and respond with emotional intensity. In this world of "I'm right, you're wrong," people are more inclined to prove themselves right rather than trying to understand the other person's viewpoint. This sense of identity and self-defense mechanism is also a significant factor leading to arguments.

In summary, the phenomenon of arguing on the internet is the result of various factors working together. The sense of anonymity, curiosity, a sense of identity, and social needs collectively drive people to argue freely on the internet. However, I would like to emphasize, especially during the festive season or any time, it's best not to argue. People who argue usually have too much free time and are well-fed!
