Tempted to Flip Out Online?! Here's Some Social Media Rant Etiquette

Seems like not one day goes by when some gossip blog is talking about two celebrities who are going at it on Twitter. If there’s an upswing to that, it’s a reminder that no matter how famous you are, at the end of the day, you’re human. Buttons can be pushed. Tempers can rise up. Folks can piss you off.

But usually? Social media rants don’t do anything but fan the flames, cause more drama and resolve next to nothing. Whether you’re a celebrity or not.

Still, trolls are real, people pop off and sometimes it’s really tempting to go straight off. If it hasn’t already happened to you, live long enough, stay online and it will. But before your fingers get to moving at lightning speed, remember to do the following things first. We promise you won’t regret it if you do.

About Shellie Reneé

Just a woman who digs all things relationships. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, that is. I've been writing (professionally) for close to 20 years, including having two books published. I'm also a marriage life coach and doula. Sometimes I speak to large audiences or do radio interviews, but usually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, surfin' the 'net and penning stuff that I wish I had read in my early 20s.

Listen, I don't have all the answers, not by a LOOOOONG shot. But whatever I can do to spare folks any heartbreak, bitterness or straight-up drama, I'll devote some keystrokes to doing. 

That's it...in a nutshell. For the most part. Kinda. ;)
