    For me and goes and comes and waves. I remember looking at Facebook comments about Caitlin Jenner and just feeling truly, truly sickened by people. Like, these are Facebook profiles. These are real people with their names attached to their accounts and everything, not like Reddit. And it was still the most vitriolic garbage.

You have a pretty good idea, but I'm a little older than you and it's not like it makes me hate the world or feel down about myself, just I feel like the human race should be better by this point.

    college kids mostly suck (especially in regards to the love thing you're talking about),

People mostly suck, you'll get out of college and figure that out ;). There are amazing people though, you just have to weed through the crap. And the love thing I'm talking about is in regard to the show "Catfish" mentioned in the original post lol.

    B: not letting social media get to you too much and recognizing that people are generally alright, even if they can be stupid sometimes.

Also, writing about the show catfish. I should have prefixed the title of this post with, "My reflections on catfish and misc. reddit bs."
