Hate and agitation on the Internet. Breathless hunt for chats and plagiarism. Public accusations break people. What made us so hostile? Is it ultimately the fault of too much of a well-intentioned thing? Psychiatrist Reinhard Haller (72) provides important answers.
“Kron”: Professor, even celebrities have not been able to withstand the pressure of public accusations lately. With tragic consequences. Is the problem with the hunters or the hunted?
Reinhard Haller: First of all: in both cases you refer to, we do not know the entire background. It is not always as obvious as it seems. There are often other factors that we don’t know about. But it is certainly not a lack of resilience. Public accusations lead to enormous stress. This should not be underestimated. Subjectively, this is much greater than expected from the outside. I’ve already had the pleasure. You are essentially at your mercy. Even though in the end nothing remains of all the accusations. Logging out of social media or not reading the newspaper is not enough. It is practically impossible to escape. The public pillory is merciless. Not like in the Middle Ages, limited to three days somewhere in a city, but everywhere and for a very, very long period of time that can destroy entire existences.
