How do you deal with trolls?

If someone is taking precious time out of their day to troll you, they are likely in a really low place. I feel bad for them most of the time. A troll want to take someone who appears successful and make them feel just a bit of the pain that they are feeling.

The ones that are really hard to brush off are the ones that point out things that you already feel in the back of your mind. These will dig at you and really tear you down.

That's a really interesting take on the troll. I never thought about it this way.
Thank you for your comment, this perspective would help me get less affected with trolls going forward :)

I really don't think that a troll is always just trying to share the pain they feel. Some trolls just think it is funny which is also pretty low.

That's right, It is not true for all the trolls, some trolls enjoy inflicting pain, ridicule, and humiliate others
