Can anonymous internet trolls benefit you in your day to day life?

[OptimisticallyBryant]

Have you been constantly abused by internet trolls? If your a successful person in life, then I'm sure you have encountered a troll before. I believe I have come up with a way to end all trolls. But first, let's find out what makes them tick.

If you're not sure what an internet troll is, then here is the definition of a troll from Wikipedia's website.

In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[4]

Internet trolls don't want other people to be happy. They want everyone to be just as miserable as they are in their day to day life. So to accomplish this they create accounts on a site of their choice. Its on a rare occasion, some actually use their real names and their likeness with their troll accounts. These are the trolls who receive a little respect because at least they put their real face on the account to let everyone know -Hey I'm a troll with the courage of my convictions to put my face with my opinions. This rare troll isn't liked either, but they are at least respected.

Oh yes, women can be trolls as well and this is what they look like. The Anonymous Internet Troll.

Now we are getting into the worst kind of internet troll. This creature doesn't have the fortitude to use their actual likeness when they troll. They rely on hiding behind the internet anonymously because their just too cowardly to show their faces to the world. These egregious excuses for human beings are the worst type of troll.

Trolls have no power unless you give it to them. It hurts them even more if they are ignored. So next time an internet troll rears its ugly head, just ignore them. They will eventually crawl back under the rock it came from. Remember, if you have trolls following you, you must be doing something right. Trolls are essentially haters, so the more haters you have usually directly correlates to the success you have. So if you only have one or two trolls find out how to have five or six by the weekend. Always step up your game when trolls are around.

Sincerely,

Bryant

Dating a man who literally makes a living off of being a troll. Being with him has forced me to speed up my reaction time, and really think before I act. Trolls make you think, end of story. They are usually witty and sarcastic which instantly equals smart! They're also usually cynical, because they really see the ugly truth in the world, and how the ignorant sheep follow so blindly. There are two kinds, however. Those who do it to shock and entertain, and those who do it because they hate life and want others to share in the misery.

I am an internet troll and I can say this is not really why I troll, at least not consciously. I do it to entertain myself (and others), and while it might hurt someone's feelings, that is not the goal. I don't ever troll people I dislike, in fact I am much more likely to troll people I'm fond of. It's a form of teasing, an ice breaker, a way to joke around and have fun. I will say that my trolling has done a lot of damage, whether or not it was intentional, so I will not glorify it any further. I just like chaos.

Trolls that I have encountered on GAG seem to be
those with too much time on their hands
wanting to begin debates to prove "their superior IQ" (in their minds)
care nothing for others' time/efforts
bait the hook for do-gooders, then spring the trap to disturb them
self-centered to the tenth factor
are LOVED by GAG admins, as they drum up clicks they take to advertisers for mo $$$

Horrifically incorrect.

The mentality behind trolling versus simply a volatile person is that they do not care if you are upset. They find it fun to sow the seeds of discord but have no emotional investment in their attempts to upset other people. Generally speaking a "troll" will make a statement, thread, or something else knowing full-well that they can simply cause a ruckus by posting something controversial and then go and sow more seeds checking on the crop later on.

Bitter people tend to not "troll" in the sense described. They want others to feel miserable so they may post things that are hurtful, like a troll, but they continuously invest in that particular topic in order to undermine others.

I said they are miserable and want to make other people miserable... Did you not read it? Either way thanks for your opinion Bye.
