Gail Kim Quotes

This social-networking thing takes you to crazy places.

The Internet is especially adept at compressing humanity and making it easy to forget there are people behind tweets, posts, and memes.

Trolling can be a great way to engage with the world, a way to regain self-esteem and happiness, or, dare I say it, a way of life.

The internet is like a gossipy girls' locker room after school, isn't it?

To be honest, I've been a passionate advocate for the value of tech to help us connect to people in real and emotional ways - and stick up for myself when people say, 'Sklar! Stop tweeting!'

A lot of people use social media to share mundane things or for self-glorification. I try to use it to share interesting things with people.

On stage and in person, I think I am nice, thoughtful, and empathetic. But for some reason when I'm online, I become super aggressive and unhinged. I should probably get off of Twitter and see a therapist.

Having been bullied growing up, it's something that's really near and dear to my heart. You probably won't have many friends on Snapchat if you're being a jerk.

Now with social media, people essentially come into my living room, my virtual living room, and tell me everything that is wrong with me.

Anonymous blog comments, vapid video pranks and lightweight mash-ups may seem trivial and harmless, but as a whole, this widespread practice of fragmentary, impersonal communication has demeaned personal interaction.

I tend to not only read reviews, but also every little stupid thing online. It's a very bad idea, and there's a lot of angry people in the world. And it's weird to absorb all that weirdness.

My work involves online dating, but I believe almost every behavior exhibited online has an offline corollary. Really, the medium doesn't change human nature.

What differentiates us from animals is the fact that we can listen to other people's dreams, fears, joys, sorrows, desires and defeats - and they in turn can listen to ours.

I don't even want to be on Twitter. I think it's abhorrent, people sending messages to say they're doing the washing-up or whatever.

I'm on Tumblr all the time.

People reveal so much of their mental processes online, simply because the psychological effect of anonymity just means that a whole raft of inhibitions are left alone when people log on.

I never, ever read the comments below an article on the Web. People are mean. I'm a human being.

I think there's a fear of disconnect sometimes; communication is a huge issue for all of us, from adults to kids, as far as our face-to-face time and our ability to interact with each other without isolating itself to a phone. I think that has to be something that's very challenging.

We are all better served by objectively diagnosing trolls so they can change.

I think it's always worth remembering that people sending off mean tweets are probably pretty lonely people.

Tech gives people more opportunities to be themselves in front of other people. Sometimes that's great; sometimes it's bad.

Everyone talks about how the anonymity of the Internet allows people to behave badly, but I think it's the other way around, that the anonymity removes the 'self' from the people we're talking to online. Other people lose their humanity in our eyes. The system is set up to dehumanize.

I think social media is good for promotion, stuff like that, but people are so negative. People are too negative. If you read the comments, it's just too negative.

People can be too harsh, especially with social media. It brings a person down.

Twitter is an extension of every dumb thought I have, firing it off - Instagram is a little more methodical.
