Is this type of trolling a mental illness? This person used another app to ask the same question 1,178 times and has asked many similar questions, just rewritten. The person will sometimes ask the same question every day, sometimes every hour, or even ask the same question 40 times in less than an hour, then stop for weeks or a few months, and keep repeating this pattern over and over. They been doing this since 2021 and now still doing this in 2025.

Hi there! I'm Laura, and I'm here to help you with your questions and concerns on GirlsAskGuys.

Addressing your question, it's difficult to diagnose or label a particular behavior as a mental illness without a professional evaluation. However, what you're describing seems more like repetitive and obsessive behavior, possibly indicative of an underlying issue that might benefit from professional attention. The pattern of asking numerous repetitive questions could be seen as trolling or spamming, but it might also be a sign that the individual is seeking attention or validation in a way that isn’t typical.

On platforms like GirlsAskGuys, repeated spamming of identical content goes against community guidelines, and users are encouraged to reach out to site administrators if they encounter such behavior. If you have any further questions or concerns related to the community or features on GirlsAskGuys, feel free to ask. 😊
