View more comments As much as we love the web for its endless supply of knowledge and inspiration, it can get pretty grim over here.

View more comments To gain more insight on how positive and negative news impact the readers, we reached out to Deborah S. Bowen, Ph.D., an Assistant Professor of PR Instruction at the University of South Florida. "Most of us are familiar with the phrase, 'if it bleeds, it leads,'" she told Bored Panda. "We have an instinctual drive to seek out the scary, the awful, the unthinkable. True-crime podcasts, streaming shows about real and imagined cases … the list is weird and endless." "Perhaps we do it because it reminds us that we're okay; perhaps we have a dark urge that needs to be satisfied. In any case, the internet abounds with negativity, from 'trolls' to snark to the charmingly outdated 'flame wars,' we have no lack of content," Bowen added. #7 wholesomemeettheinternet Report Final score: 797points POST xolitaire xolitaire Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago oh my god I Want these as desktop icons.

View more comments #9 wholesomemeettheinternet Report Final score: 789points POST Autistic apricot Autistic apricot Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Haha 111 111points reply View more comments According to her, being on the outside of these stories or fights lights up what's called our "negativity bias": "A psychological phenomenon recognizing that the human brain responds more vigorously to negative news than to positive news." It looks like turning a blind eye to the darker side of life is difficult as we humans are hardwired to seek out the gloom. The negativity bias shows our tendency to give more significance to negative thoughts and experiences than positive or neutral ones. We are even inclined to focus on the negative aspects when they are insignificant. Rick Hanson, Ph.D., psychologist and author of Hardwiring Happiness, stated that humans evolved to be fearful, and it helped keep us alive. "This vulnerability to feeling threatened has effects at many levels, ranging from individuals, couples, and families, to schoolyards, organizations and nations," he explained. To gain back control over how we perceive the world, Hanson stressed the importance of becoming aware of how our brains get so vigilant and wary. #10 wholesomemeettheinternet Report Final score: 785points POST xolitaire xolitaire Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Aaaah I love this 147 147points reply View More Replies...

"Once it sounds the alarm, negative events and experiences get quickly stored in memory - in contrast to positive events and experiences, which are not prioritized in the same way." But while this was a great way to survive and avoid threats in the old days, in the modern world, we don't actually need to feel afraid or anxious all the time. If we want to lead fulfilling lives, we need to better grasp this tendency and understand that things are usually not as tragic. #13 wholesomemeettheinternet Report Final score: 773points POST The Idaho Potato The Idaho Potato Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Still better than what I can do. 171 171points reply View More Replies...

Since optimism and happiness are contagious, surround yourself with cheerful news that can help you unwind from unfortunate events happening in your life. "There is no shortage of wholesome content online: adorable children, snuggly pets, recorded marriage proposals," Bowen told us. "But even these sweet contributions can become riddled with negativity." The professor pointed out that even when we instruct others, 'Never read the comments!', we promptly go to the comment section ourselves. "Positive, feel-good content certainly goes viral (looking at you, Tariq the Corn Kid!), and these viralities certainly take the edge off the bad news surrounding them, but these aren't usually good deeds or acts of kindness motivated by someone's goodness," she added. "It would be interesting to track the ways in which positive content inspires more positive content. We might be on to a great online revolution!" #16 wholesomemeettheinternet Report Final score: 741points POST Susie Elle Susie Elle Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago It never even occurred to me that the color of band-aids was supposed to be skin-tone (for white people at least), until I saw this.

She deliberately surrounds her online presence with accounts that reflect her values. "But like everyone else, I'll sneak over to 'the other side' to see what ideological shifts are happening 'over there." "This is a great approach to understand how others perceive the world around them, but it really only works if you choose to visit legitimate news sites that will offer up potentially controversial content in a journalistic, unbiased way." The professor encourages people in the States to explore US news from external perspectives and other countries. "Generally, these external sources offer content that isn't tailored to one political 'base' or the other, offering instead a holistic approach to the bigger stories of the day." #22 wholesomemeettheinternet Report Final score: 711points POST Autistic apricot Autistic apricot Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago 192 192points reply View more comments #23 wholesomemeettheinternet Report Final score: 700points POST glowworm2 glowworm2 Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago I think the great Dane loves their new friend! 155 155points reply View More Replies...

As Associate Professor Bowen stated, a new addiction is rising - addiction to social media and its inherent stressors. "Studies demonstrate that even though and even when people experience stress when using these platforms, their use doesn't decrease; in fact, it ratchets up." In response to these feelings, hunt down all the feel-good stories and adorably cute pictures you can find. "It's so important to take time off and away from social media, even if that means decreasing little by little over time. Make sure to practice online self-care, and a great start would be to actively seek out some of that wonderful smile-inspiring content that lets us vibe with happiness," Bowen concluded. #25 wholesomemeettheinternet Report Final score: 689points POST Tamra Tamra Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Acts of kindness like this live on for a really long time.

View more comments To gain more insight on how positive and negative news impact the readers, we reached out to Deborah S. Bowen, Ph.D., an Assistant Professor of PR Instruction at the University of South Florida. "Most of us are familiar with the phrase, 'if it bleeds, it leads,'" she told Bored Panda. "We have an instinctual drive to seek out the scary, the awful, the unthinkable. True-crime podcasts, streaming shows about real and imagined cases … the list is weird and endless." "Perhaps we do it because it reminds us that we're okay; perhaps we have a dark urge that needs to be satisfied. In any case, the internet abounds with negativity, from 'trolls' to snark to the charmingly outdated 'flame wars,' we have no lack of content," Bowen added. #7 wholesomemeettheinternet Report Final score: 797points POST xolitaire xolitaire Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago oh my god I Want these as desktop icons.

It looks like turning a blind eye to the darker side of life is difficult as we humans are hardwired to seek out the gloom. The negativity bias shows our tendency to give more significance to negative thoughts and experiences than positive or neutral ones. We are even inclined to focus on the negative aspects when they are insignificant. Rick Hanson, Ph.D., psychologist and author of Hardwiring Happiness, stated that humans evolved to be fearful, and it helped keep us alive. "This vulnerability to feeling threatened has effects at many levels, ranging from individuals, couples, and families, to schoolyards, organizations and nations," he explained. To gain back control over how we perceive the world, Hanson stressed the importance of becoming aware of how our brains get so vigilant and wary. #10 wholesomemeettheinternet Report Final score: 785points POST xolitaire xolitaire Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Aaaah I love this 147 147points reply View More Replies...

"Once it sounds the alarm, negative events and experiences get quickly stored in memory - in contrast to positive events and experiences, which are not prioritized in the same way." But while this was a great way to survive and avoid threats in the old days, in the modern world, we don't actually need to feel afraid or anxious all the time. If we want to lead fulfilling lives, we need to better grasp this tendency and understand that things are usually not as tragic. #13 wholesomemeettheinternet Report Final score: 773points POST The Idaho Potato The Idaho Potato Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Still better than what I can do. 171 171points reply View More Replies...

Since optimism and happiness are contagious, surround yourself with cheerful news that can help you unwind from unfortunate events happening in your life. "There is no shortage of wholesome content online: adorable children, snuggly pets, recorded marriage proposals," Bowen told us. "But even these sweet contributions can become riddled with negativity." The professor pointed out that even when we instruct others, 'Never read the comments!', we promptly go to the comment section ourselves. "Positive, feel-good content certainly goes viral (looking at you, Tariq the Corn Kid!), and these viralities certainly take the edge off the bad news surrounding them, but these aren't usually good deeds or acts of kindness motivated by someone's goodness," she added. "It would be interesting to track the ways in which positive content inspires more positive content. We might be on to a great online revolution!" #16 wholesomemeettheinternet Report Final score: 741points POST Susie Elle Susie Elle Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago It never even occurred to me that the color of band-aids was supposed to be skin-tone (for white people at least), until I saw this.

She deliberately surrounds her online presence with accounts that reflect her values. "But like everyone else, I'll sneak over to 'the other side' to see what ideological shifts are happening 'over there." "This is a great approach to understand how others perceive the world around them, but it really only works if you choose to visit legitimate news sites that will offer up potentially controversial content in a journalistic, unbiased way." The professor encourages people in the States to explore US news from external perspectives and other countries. "Generally, these external sources offer content that isn't tailored to one political 'base' or the other, offering instead a holistic approach to the bigger stories of the day." #22 wholesomemeettheinternet Report Final score: 711points POST Autistic apricot Autistic apricot Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago 192 192points reply View more comments #23 wholesomemeettheinternet Report Final score: 700points POST glowworm2 glowworm2 Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago I think the great Dane loves their new friend! 155 155points reply View More Replies...

As Associate Professor Bowen stated, a new addiction is rising - addiction to social media and its inherent stressors. "Studies demonstrate that even though and even when people experience stress when using these platforms, their use doesn't decrease; in fact, it ratchets up." In response to these feelings, hunt down all the feel-good stories and adorably cute pictures you can find. "It's so important to take time off and away from social media, even if that means decreasing little by little over time. Make sure to practice online self-care, and a great start would be to actively seek out some of that wonderful smile-inspiring content that lets us vibe with happiness," Bowen concluded. #25 wholesomemeettheinternet Report Final score: 689points POST Tamra Tamra Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 1 month ago Acts of kindness like this live on for a really long time.
