Rage Behind the Screen - The Psychology of Online Hate in the Age of Social Media #977706

Every day, millions of people open their phones and enter a war zone they never signed up for. A careless comment. A coordinated pile-on. A career destroyed in 48 hours by strangers who will forget the name by morning.
Rage Behind the Screen is not another book about how to handle haters. It is a deep, unflinching investigation into why they exist — and what their rage reveals about the world we have collectively built.
Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and sociology, this book makes one central argument: digital rage is most often a mask worn over unhealed wounds. We punish others in public to avoid confronting the darkest parts of ourselves. The attacker is almost never really attacking you — they are attacking the pain they cannot name, the envy they cannot admit, the shame they have never processed.
Inside, you will discover:

• Why social media platforms are engineered to amplify outrage — and profit from it
• The neuroscience of why hurting someone online does not feel like hurting them
• How projection, shame, envy, and loneliness fuel digital cruelty
• Why influencers and content creators become targets for collective psychological wounds
• What chronic online aggression does to both the victim and the aggressor
• How to build genuine resilience — without going numb
• This book is for creators, influencers, and anyone who has chosen visibility in a world that simultaneously rewards and punishes it. It is also for anyone who has, in a dark moment, been the one doing the hurting — and has never quite understood why.
  For those who hurt, and those who were hurt by them — often the same person.
