Internet trolls can be the funniest group of people on the planet if done right,
and if they aren't, then they are the most annoying people. See there are two
different types of tolls: the ones who love to make sarcastic and humorous
comments towards redundant statements, situations or willfully ignorant
celebrities. I will admit that way back in my earlier experiences of twitter, I
was troll towards my fellow military personnel. It was a fun time because we
were all basically trolling one another and just having fun doing it. There were
no hard feelings, well most of us didn't have any, and we knew it began and
ended when we logged out. That's the kind of trolling that I like, that's the
kind of trolling I participate on and off of social media, it's just jokes.
Then like any other thing in life, you have a side that just
plain sucks.
That
would be the malicious trollers, the ones that aren't happy with their own
personal life, so they come on social media and try to make other people lives
suck. Now at first the trolls were really annoying and they were really getting
me to engage in debates that didn't make sense to me in the end, then a
revelation came to me; they only want to illicit emotions from me. That's the
soul reason why a troll, whether good or bad, would want someone to acknowledge
them. I don't know if there is an exact science or study floating around out
there, but I can say that the people that troll for malicious intent are the
ones that have some serious issues that need to be resolved with the help of a
therapist, just saying.
But
at the end of the day, the point I'm trying to get at is that trolls aren't
going anywhere and they aren't going to change anytime soon. So with that being
said it's up to you how you engage said trolls because they are only here to
give you pure and utter hell. I know a lot of people that aren't exactly
equipped to handle any kind of criticism that may arise, and trolls tend to go
to levels that aren't, how do I say this, respectable. They say all of the
things that they are scared to say in public, and that usually means any and
everything because they think it's ok to rile people up and point out how easy
it is to rile them up.
Just
don't let it get to you because at the end of the day, it's not that serious
what they say or how they feel because honestly they don't care outside of
making you angry and engaging them because they don't have anything else better
to do with their life. So just take what they say with a grain of salt and move
on with your life, you never have to interact with the trolls beyond the time
you give them, because my secret is to not pay them any mind and they tend to go
away and bother someone else.
Just say no to trolls.
Have
you had any run in with a troll and if so what happened and how did you respond
to it? Leave it in the comments below.
Until
next time guys.
