youtube social anxiety

Okay, this is weird. But sometimes I feel social anxiety over comments I make on youtoube or "arguments" I have on message boards, youtube, etc. I know it's stupid to engage in an argument with someone on the internet, but sometimes I actually let these internet trolls make me feel bad, stupid. You know the type of person i'm talking about, the one who responds to your comments with lengthy, self-indulgent, "you're a retard because you misspelled this" kind of troll. ANd then they somehow turn it around and make YOU feel like the troll because you can't let it go and you respond to them (but you can't help it because they're so ridiculous).

I mean I realize I don't even know these people, so why do I let their mean, cutting comments bug me?

I don't know if this even makes sense, probably not.
