Elaboration of thoughts
We live in a world where we do not just live in the physical “real world,” but also simultaneously in the social media world online. For those seeking to be malicious, unfortunately the Internet is like a grocery store for content that can feed that malicious behavior. On the Internet you can hide behind whatever username you create and say whatever to whomever without having to be face to face. This makes the Internet the perfect home for trolls. A place where they can hide behind a veil like the cowards they are, deliberately provoking others by saying offensive, hurtful things. A troll is somebody who is unhappy in their own life and needs to lash out at anybody who is successful and happy to validate themselves. Small, sad little trolls. If you happen to fall victim to a troll, here are some options:
Block the trolls’ account.
Don’t Respond.
Report the troll to the social media platform and the police if necessary.
Disconnect from social media.
Stay humble.
