Answer 1

I'm not a troll and I think it will be difficult that a troll answers here, because they don’t reflect about their doing and they don’t want to be confronted. So I can’t answer from the viewpoint of a troll, but I was attacked several times and I tried to understand what goes on in a troll. They are mostly very intelligent and that makes them so dangerous. They use their computer skills to enter into systems and destroy programs or they disturb or destroy a forum with multiple posts. I lost one forum this way. But also I have had experiences with people in person who had the same attitude and were threatening me when they didn't get what they wanted.
So I would say that these are people who were disappointed deeply because they were rejected and now have chosen to get attention in a negative way. They feel alone and outside of groups they can’t join because they don’t agree, they even might look behind the often false attitude, pretending something to live, but only following rigid concepts. The troll looks behind and feels that he needs to uncover the falseness, feeling as a warrior, even though being in a lost position. Indeed these people suffer, trying to survive in their way. Probably this attitude was planted in early childhood when the child wanted attention from its parents and were very brave and did all what it was told, but when this didn't work, then the child switched and did 'bad' things, so with this getting enough attention. I remember the story when two boys met in the street and one asks the other: "Why you look so sad?" The other answers: "Because my father doesn't care about me, he doesn't give me any attention!" Then the other said: " Oh, my father gives me a lot of attention, every Friday when he comes home from work, he beats me up!" This story is pretty sad, isn't it? But it shows how the need gets fulfilled. And probably it is similar with the troll; he gets what he needs in a negative way.
So what could be a solution, to stop him from doing damage just because he needs attention and probably has given up to get it in a good way? What I have done was that I didn't react at all, meaning that I didn't give special attention and even more important I didn’t put any blame on this person. At least it worked in so far, as this person didn't continue with threatening.
Maybe we should try to just accept the trolls and understand them in their extreme behavior, seeing them in their loneliness and suffering. We can't change them, but they might change themselves if we don't feed their negative needs. Then maybe they might realize that they could use the effort they are doing to find satisfaction in a different way. So don’t let us put the label “bad guys” on them, knowing that we all at least some times behave like trolls in our daily private surrounding.

There are loads of trolls out there. I've just joined this site and hope I'm not breaking any community guidelines by using a real example. I reported the people who left answers as I was disgusted. The person asking for advice is called candy and she has never asked or answered since. Candy doesn't accept email either. I wanted to give her a few words to lift her confidence, not about her question but the cruel answers. I just felt for her. Trolls are bullies. They lack self confidence, self esteem and self worth. I think they may use projection - transferring their own negativities about themselves onto others and/or displacement - shifting a threatening feeing towards a substitute object. In my example beneath I put stars at key words to highlight why I feel strongly in this instance*




*My boyfriend told me that he is used to me their so that is why he don't want to brake up with me or is it

Answer 3

Yes I see, but why are trolls or people in general are seeking attention? Why is this so important for them? I think it is because when they are getting a response for their self-expression then they are confirmed in their existence and this works also if they are getting negative attention. We know that there are criminals they do horrible things just because then they are on the first page of all newspapers. Just for one day and then they go into prison for twenty or more years, but obviously it was worth as they got attention!
This gives me stuff to think about in how far I depend on other people’s attention. I know that my way is to be a 'good child' but I realize that sometimes in extreme situations, mostly under stress, I switch to the 'bad girl'...
Thanks for the question.

Always put it down to attention seeking myself ... but who really knows bar them.

Typically ... I say exactly the same as the fella further down the list here, yet get 0 thumbs up and a thumbs down ... Smashin', suppose that says enough.
