    But people give it value, therefore it does have meaning in the real world. The act generates a feeling in someone, and it says “I don’t like what you just said.” People want to be liked.

      I know people want to be liked but do you really think it bothers me of some 25-year-old kid with a laptop at a Starbucks in Peoria Illinois doesn’t like something I say? Letting people you don’t have face-to-face contact with dictate your mood or your self-image is kind of stupid but I’m in my 60s and probably would not have said that if I was 20.
