How To Handle Internet Online Trolls Efficiently For Your Mental Health by Evaress(op): 6:01am On Aug 13
Imagine someone leaves their own page, comes to YOUR page just to drop hate.
And you’re there replying, fighting, cursing back.

Bro... that's exactly what they want.

TROLLS FEED ON YOUR ATTENTION.
Their mission: make you see it, make it disturb you, make you react.

So today I go teach you how to kill them with silence.

THE 3 RULES:

1. DO NOT RESPOND
That’s the mistake 90% of people make.
Someone calls you "Fat bitch" and you reply "Your mama".
No dear. Don’t reply at all.

When you ignore, they feel like you didn’t even see it. With time they get tired and leave.

Silence is a weapon.

2. DO NOT BLOCK
Blocking makes them happy.
Why? Because now they know their message entered you. It hurt you. That’s why you blocked.

Next they go create 10 burner accounts to continue.

3. GHOST THEM COMPLETELY
No reply. No block. No reaction.
Act like their comment doesn’t exist.

They are not worth your energy, your time, or your peace.

BOTTOM LINE:
Trolls want attention. Starve them.
*No response + No block = They die of boredom* ✅

Save your energy for people who actually love your content.

Please note; If you try these steps and that troll still persists and doesn't go away and the trolling starts affecting your mental health, then block off such persons immediately.

They are sad people who enjoy seeing others sad
Re: How To Handle Internet Online Trolls Efficiently For Your Mental Health by Evaress(op): 6:12am On Aug 13
Mental health is everything. Mood can't effect one's change in mental health. You can't even focus again
Re: How To Handle Internet Online Trolls Efficiently For Your Mental Health by Evaress(op): 6:18am On Aug 13
You got to learn to be strong, strong enough to remain calm and ignore else these trolls will break you easily
Re: How To Handle Internet Online Trolls Efficiently For Your Mental Health by Evaress(op): 6:21am On Aug 13
Silence or not fighting back doesn't mean you are weak

One has been trolling for over 6 years. If he was studying a 4 year course he would have graduated and even done masters.

He's going to follow me for the rest of his life and serve me with his time here in and here after. His entire lineage will follow and serve my lineage.
Obviously, I'm better than him

You registered this your account in 2024 (2 years ago) . . . But you're here claiming someone has been trolling you on this forum for 6 years undecided

How is this possible? 🤔 well, maybe the person knows your old and new accounts/monikers and is following you on all of them? 😏

Anyhow sha, asiwaju jagaban 💪 grin

Yes that poster must have an old account that the troll had been 'close-marking' which made him create this new one and is still complaining of the same troll he ran away from cool

How funny does that sound grin

If you think blocking is the way out. What about the trolls you will encounter in real life? As that guy said above, the trolls are everywhere
Re: How To Handle Internet Online Trolls Efficiently For Your Mental Health by Evaress(op): 10:52am On Aug 13
Try to prioritize your mental health first. Life is more important than money and any other thing
Re: How To Handle Internet Online Trolls Efficiently For Your Mental Health by FutureFocus:
What?? I love trolls , as a online marketer who thrives on trolls attention for free publicity , trolls can only boost sales , engage trolls and become more popular, trollsl will have no evidence or point against you as long as you are clean and never cheated anyone , troll will end up just giving you free publicity

Troll should better be mindful of his own mental health , ive even converted all my trolls to customers 🤩

Me gan gan king of trolls

Inshort you're telling people to bottle up their emotions until it reaches a boiling point and breaks out in other ways like depression and suicide.

My antidote to trolling is change your mindset stop seeking validation from people, be honest with yourself and be happy always.

If someone said "you fat bitch" and you know you are truly fat but not a bitch then reply with yes i know i am fat but not a bitch. My boyfriend, father, mother etc like me like that and then add a photo of yourself and a small pros and cons of being fat that you have experienced that skinny persons cannot experience.

If it hurts you let it out rather than bottle it up and be moody about it.

OP, I hope you know Obidients is the substitute word for internet trolls, going by what you wrote above. They’re coming for you to vent their frustrations, knowing their Obi will NEVER become president. Laughing in Obi’s DoA presidential ambitions grin

what i'm saying is the more you try to fight it, the more they keep attacking back. If you ignore, they will stop and go away. If they persist and don't stop and it starts affecting you mentally, then you can now block off such persons

Good points though. I grew up in the era where we faced bullies and trolls and defeat them. This is a generation of weaklings.
Re: How To Handle Internet Online Trolls Efficiently For Your Mental Health by Image123(m): 7:06am On Aug 14
i do these to Obi followers many times.
Re: How To Handle Internet Online Trolls Efficiently For Your Mental Health by EdiskyHarry: 7:11am On Aug 14
What a beautiful write up. The best option is to block them.
Re: How To Handle Internet Online Trolls Efficiently For Your Mental Health by meobizy(f): 7:40am On Aug 14
I engage when utterly bored. Most times I ignore. I will never understand how someone can spend so much time online that they recognize some of your habits. Many of you children need to breathe fresh air and visit a playground.

As a culprit I can tell you the truth ghosting or ignoring hurt so much but most people don't know
