Trolling is Evil: It's Proven to be Linked With Strong Mental Illnesses (Page 3)

This doesn't really surprise me. I think I'll talk to my professor of psychology about this.

Do you even know what trolling is? Trolling is intentionally posting inflammatory and provocative statements specifically to elicit hot-headed, whiny, keyboard-mashing responses from the self-important and thin-skinned.

This sounds all well and good, but research put into assholes on the internet?
Are you sure this whole myTake isn't a trolling post. lol

This article is missing something (or the study it's about it is) - how is 'trolling' defined here really? What consists of 'bullying'? It could be a wide spectrum of things.

o wow, literally every user on this site is mentally ill then

Thank god I'm only dark triad, therefore not a troll lol

Nice take!

[Kaneki05]

Yes but trolls are easy to ignore. So it don't really matter

[Logorithim]

That's interesting, I thought they just had a weird sense of humor or were gaslighting.

[DashboardLight]

Ok, so if I think you're trolling right now, or your posts make you a troll, you would automatically be a mentally ill person?

[allie97]

That's not what she said.. She said scientists found a link between those two things; that trolls often might face other mental issues. We all troll sometimes, but if you do it often or get satisfaction about it, then sure there is something else going on..

[Decentguy]

someone is taking the internet too seriously, lmaoo

[Anonymous]

Why do you have to make such a big deal out of everything?
You are the mental one if you seriously believe what you just wrote and cannot accept that people just have humor

[allie97]

It depends on what you mean by humour..
"Lololololll kill yourself" isn't funny and if someone gets their kicks out of it, they seriously have a problem

[Blightly]

All i know is of the 7 million people on this planet, a few hundred billion will prob be trolls

basic math

[Kenni]

Poor dog, what the hell are you looking at.. internet us bad for you

[Bananaman177]

Unfortunately, not being a troll is linked with strong mental illnesses too, just different ones.

[zoe2187]

I agree. I think anyone that disagrees needs to reconsider their mental health. Great myTake.

[drdudebro69]

lololololololol bullshit. I hate trolls = they're mentally ill. Thats like the morons who say Trump is mentally ill or hillary is evil.

[loveslongnails]

Hmmm... there needed to be a study and "evidence" to confirm that trolls are ill people? I hope the cost didn't come out of my taxes !!

[up_64]

And who are trolls. Let me guess anyone to the right of karl marx is a 4chan posting nazi alt uber right kkk nazi.

[Lance1965]

I quit a site once purely because of some really nasty trolls. No one deserves death-threats or constant bullying.
