There's nothing worse then letting a troll know they won the battle. Sometimes the greatest reaction is no reaction.
On the other end of a dark computer screen is a troll waiting to ruin someone's day. A internet troll, or a cyber-bully take pleasure in creating hell for online users. The problem with trolls are that they're everywhere. The only way to escape a troll is to delete all social media and keep it pushing, but where's the fun in that? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, including trolls, but some take it a little too far.
Trolling is the new word for coward.
It's amazing what a dark room will do to a person's confidence. The internet is the new place for all the hateful, malicious comments, and harassment to take place under one single comment. Nowadays, you can't post a selfie without a troll coming around to tear your self-esteem down. It's as if trolls are waiting to leap at the first opportunity. What's crazier is there could be a troll standing next to you in a grocery store line, at a stop light, in a classroom, or even at a funeral and you wouldn't even know it.
Trolls take on multiple disguises, but claim they're the ones that are misunderstood. No, whats misunderstanding is how a troll can sit behind a keyboard in their pathetic home with their pathetic little life and say hurtful things and want all the sympathy. They say to be a troll you need to exhibit all dark twisted personality traits: narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellians, and especially sadism.
I have to disagree. In order to be a successful troll you need to be so delusional to think anyone in the universe gives a ounce of f--k of what you have to say. Trolling is easy, that's why there is so many of them. They're on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, anywhere that gives them a show. The only way to get rid of internet trolls is to give no reaction. Sounds simple, right? Wrong.
It's easier to get angry and get to typing away and stooping to their level, however, the only way out is to stay above it. Stay above all the harassment and disgruntled comments. Delete and block them, they won't go away. Sometimes no reaction is the best reaction. If you don't feed into them they have nothing. They can't argue with themselves. Trolls have no preference on their target; a target is a target to them. If they get a rise out of you guess what, you're their favorite.
I'll reiterate: do not feed the troll. Feeding a troll is like feeding a dog--they'll keep coming back. If you give a dog a bone what can you expect. You can't keep adding fuel to a fire and expect it to go out on its own. It doesn't work that way with a troll. Why? Because trolls never get tired. This is what they live for. They survive off of your emotions, because they're not the ones tossing and turning in the middle of the night over some comment. While you're constantly thinking about that one comment they're sitting on the couch, sipping Kool-Aid living their life. The only way to end a troll's career is to let them meet their own demise.
