If you are online and especially if you\'re on social media, it\\u2019s likely you\\u2019ve engaged with people whose opinions are different from your own. While those conversations can sometimes be informative, they often spiral into a vitriolic whirlpool of hurtful or even threatening comments. Dylan Marron is the creator and host of \\u201cConversations with People Who Hate Me\\u201d, a podcast where he facilitates conversations and tries to explore the humanity of people online. In today\\u2019s episode, Dylan talks about why we shouldn\\u2019t forget that there are always people on the other side of our screens and shares what he\\u2019s learned about apologies, forgiveness, and the benefits of taking the time to explore and establish our personal boundaries. You can listen to Dylan\\u2019s podcast wherever you\\u2019re listening to this.
