People react differently to being trolled. The most common reactions are
|
|
either getting angry and take it personally or else get
|
|
unmotivated and simply give up in what you are doing (normally the
|
|
subject of the troll). This post gives three tips on how to deal
|
|
with trolling to avoid any of the two extreme reactions mentioned above.
|
|
|
|
1.Take suggestions irrespective of who suggests them
|
|
Sometimes people get angry when they are trolled by others who are not
|
|
familiar with the subject or are younger.
|
|
Don.t do that. Look only at the suggestion and not at who is suggesting
|
|
it. That way you are open to trolling by anyone,
|
|
irrespective of whether the person is an expert or not.
|
|
|
|
2.Don.t take it personal
|
|
Another reason why people get angry when they are trolled is that they
|
|
associate the trolling with themselves.
|
|
They think that the person trolling them is doing so, to ridicule them.
|
|
This is not always true. There are many
|
|
types of characters in the world, so some people will be honestly
|
|
interested in helping you, whilst others want to
|
|
demotivate you. People who want to demotivate you will misuse trolling
|
|
and instead of making constructive trolls,
|
|
they will troll to destroy you psychologically. In either case, whether
|
|
constructive trolling or malicious trolling,
|
|
you should never get angry you since you will not solve anything that
|
|
way. If the trolling is genuine you will
|
|
annoy the person giving you advice. On the other hand if the trolling is
|
|
malicious, by getting angry you will help
|
|
your enemy (the person trolling you maliciously) win, cause in the end
|
|
that is what they are after.
|
|
|
|
3.Don.t Reply immediately
|
|
Don.t rush to reply for the trolling being proposed. First allow the
|
|
person doing the trolling to make a point,
|
|
then think about the point before you start debating. First start on
|
|
what you agree with the person, ending up
|
|
with the points you do not agree on. This will help you create a
|
|
relaxing conversation by pointing out the points
|
|
you agree with first. By debating lastly the points which you do not
|
|
agree on, you will make more impact since the
|
|
last points are the most remembered.
|
|
|
|
Apart from the above three points, make sure that you always smile when
|
|
you are being trolled. This will help you
|
|
create a friendly shat and shows that you are confident in what you
|
|
think.
