Disinhibition on the Internet is a psychological phenomenon that they were already talking about when I entered the online mental health field around 2000, and as I said, cell phones now are even more so.

I have wondered why people think they have the right.

I may be a little old fashioned, but I think we have lost a lot of civility, and there are an awful lot of people who are so narcissistic that they are really ugly on some of the blogs and Facebook.

Thanks for a thought-provoking post. <br /><br />You wrote that some people think, while texting or emailing, “I can’t see you—so I don’t have to worry about what you think of what I’m saying or censor what I say to please you.” But my experience is the opposite. I DO take care b/c I worry about what the other person will think.

Medical details, sexual details--I've heard it all on New York buses. And I've seen acrimonious divorces (well, one) conducted on Facebook.

She said other kids could hear what I was saying and could misconstrue it. I said that I wasn't friends with them so why should I care what they thought? Same thought process could apply to any private conversation held in a public space. If I don't know the people at the next table, it Barb Goffmanhttp://www.barbgoffman.comnoreply@blogger.com
