Why be a Troll?
Something that I've always wanted to ask those who harmfully use the internet to troll people is why? Why waste your precious time to hurt someone? Why bother someone you might not even know? Why perform actions that cause consequences not to you, but the ones you hurt? People have taken advantage of the fact that one can post something without any connection to their name, which can lead to commenting hurtful messages without any consequence to that person. I believe at one point posting things anonymously was supposed to be a positive thing; however, as time goes on, it turns out there are more cons than pros. No benefit will come from hurting someone. If you need to say something harmful to make yourself better, there's a deeper problem there. A troll wouldn't like it if the rolls were reversed. So until there's a better understanding of the need to post something so unnecessary, I'll continue to ask why?

You make great points! I don't think there is a valid reason as to why people are trolls; however, I do agree with you when you say that trolls do what they do to make themselves feel better. I don't think that anyone should ever harm someone else just to boost up their confidence.. In my opinion, trolls troll people because they know they can hide behind a screen and, in most cases, never get caught.
ReplyDeleteI agree with many of your points, but can one of the only reasons to troll someone be to just make themselves feel better? Or do they only care to hurt the other person in order to bring the victim's level of emotions and confidence down to their own low levels? It is a good question to ask and who knows if there will ever be a reasonable and logical answer.
