Thoughtful Thursdays: Post 09 – Reading Between the Comments: Online Disagreements with Empathy

The internet isn’t known for its nuance. But thoughtful digital engagement is possible—if we approach it with empathy.

When you see a post that rubs you the wrong way:

• Pause. Take a breath. Ask why it triggers you.
• Is there a more generous interpretation?
• Can you respond to the idea, not attack the person?

You don’t have to engage every time. Silence can be a boundary, too. But if you choose to speak, let your words reflect who you want to be—not just what you feel in the moment.
