Exactly. We don’t realise that virtual abuse is as toxic and brain-damaging as physical abuse.

Because when you read or see something emotionally stressful online, you brain records the information and repeatedly feeds it to subconsciously. Which means you absorb the information as you would take a slap in the face.

This is the reason why I delete and unfollow toxic writers. I mean would I absorb information from someone who cares less about their mental health? When I come across depressing content I quickly remove myself as their target with a click on the button.
