Trolls & Haters

There will always be trolls and haters online, some are jealous, some may have personal problems and some just enjoy it. We can all deal with this in different ways, it’s easy for us to lose our cool and react aggressively , it is easy for us troll back using degrading humour but in most cases this is just adding fuel to the fire.

The way I deal with encountering haters or trolls, I ask myself Is there a chance to influence or change this person’s opinion with a conversation, with a little more context or explanation, in a modest manner? if there isn’t, then I accept the person as they are.

As hard as it may be I don’t hate the hater, it’s pointless throwing more time and effort into a lost cause. sometimes arguments can last for hours and at the end of it all nothing has been achieved except lost time.
