TikTok User Says Social Media Nearly Made Her Hate Men

A young woman says early exposure to social media nearly distorted her view of men. Despite growing up in a loving home and having a good relationship with her father, she began absorbing repeated online claims that men were inherently bad. She says she started repeating other people’s painful experiences as though they were her own, even without personal experiences to support those beliefs. With self-awareness and guidance, she realised she had allowed online narratives to shape her thinking. She advises young people to show empathy without automatically adopting every story they see online, noting that people of every gender can be either good or bad.
