Trolls on social media, how to handle yourself

Nowadays, trolling each other on various topics on social media has become a common thing. While trolling is acceptable up to a point, many people cannot handle it when it crosses the line. 

If someone posts something harsh on social media, it instantly spreads to thousands to millions of people. Nowadays, the impact of these things is starting to affect personal lives. Basically, trollers are mostly psychopaths or people who get pleasure from seeing others suffer. 

One of the biggest impacts of trolls is on concentration and focus. And since there is no time limit for comments on social sites, it is seen that comments on the same post continue endlessly.

During work, the mind rushes to those comments. These not only damage the mind, but also cause problems with concentration. The troll culture on social media is not new. However, there are ways to solve it. 

1. Ignore Strategy: Sometimes the main purpose of trolling is to annoy or get a reaction from you. So, ignoring may be the best course of action. If you don't respond, the troll may lose interest.

2. Maintain confidence: Trolling or negative comments can affect your confidence, but remember that your worth does not depend solely on what others say. Be confident in yourself and avoid negativity.

3. Delete or block negative comments: If someone is repeatedly harassing you or trolling you unnecessarily, you can block or report them. Many social media platforms have such options, which can protect you from trolls.

4. Trust in your support network: It is important to seek positive support from family, friends or fans. The encouragement you receive from them will help boost your mental strength.

5. Seek professional help: If the trolling is more serious or causes mental stress, then you can seek the help of professional counseling or a psychologist. They can guide you in dealing with the stress.

6. Use humor: Sometimes responding to a troll with intelligence and humor can reduce the impact of trolling. However, this must be done very carefully so that it does not become insulting.
