If you’ve taken a trip to the comment section of any website lately chances are you’ve run into some nastiness.

Sure, the Internet and social media have made it easier to connect to one another, but it’s also made it easier to spew hate—and do it under the veil of anonymity.

Since staying off the Internet isn’t an option in the 21st century super connected world we’ve devised three tips that can help you keep your sanity while navigating through all the negative chatter online.
