Warning: Trolling Straight Ahead

Personally I believe that we are a society that has become extremely sensitive to words that are directed to us and at the same rate insensitive to the things we say to each other. Truthfully, and I mean this in the frankest way possible, people really need to grow a backbone because we live in a world filled with people who will not like you whether it be your looks, race, religious affiliation, etc. Meaning the world isn’t this great LaLa land filled with sweet, loving people, sorry to bring this to light but there are many people crude individuals who wander this earth, but specifically the net, because they have issues with themselves. Now I do not state this in a way of portraying my sincerity to the trolls; however, I am an understanding person and do not take rude comments to heart. I am able to do so because I am confident in who I am and I know my worth, so there isn’t a single being alive who can stab me to my core and make me feel less than.


Nonetheless, I understand that not everyone is like me and some truly care how others perceive them, or are greatly impacted by words. However, if that is how a person chooses to go about their life then they need to be sure to guard themselves because it wouldn’t make sense for them to open the door to people whose desire is to provide negative opinions about them but rather to people who are sincere and compassionate. Maintain a private account if needed and if they choose to be public block the troll immediately.


You know it’s a shame that trolling has had this great uprise online at a time when our society needs the most unity. It hurts to know that trolls have reached the ultimate level of breaking their victim down to the point the victim pulls their last string where they feel compelled to take their life as a white flag of surrenderance. However, as users of the internet we must stand guard in this battlefield and protect our emotional, mental, and (in some cases) physical well-being at all times opposed to feeding ourselves to the pack of trolls.


Although we all handle things differently, be wise enough to step away from the media when you’re being attacked by the cynical beings behind the screen and find someone who you know you can trust and confide in them the issues you’re going through on the net. It doesn’t make you weak if you step away from the net and doesn’t make you stronger to simply tolerate the verbal abuse. You know what you can handle so be brave, take a deep breath, and remind yourself how awesome you are and that that troll is simply displeased with the issues in their life. Block them with a quickness and carry on with your beautiful life.


All in all, know your worth and show some compassion as Thumper said best “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it all”. Keep the peace.
