Trolls in modern slang are people who publish provocative messages on websites, trying to provoke a negative reaction from users. An experienced troll can not only ruin the mood, but also bring people who take everything to heart to a nervous breakdown. That is why it is important to learn how to talk to them correctly.
Instructions
Step 1
Never try to convince a troll that you are right with a lot of compelling arguments. In general, a discussion with such a person is a waste of time. He is not interested in the opinion of other people, the reaction itself is important to him, the opportunity to anger, offend, offend.
Step 2
Don't feed the troll, i.e. do not write him messages that provide new opportunities to offend you. In particular, do not talk about yourself, your hobbies, principles. The troll will write messages until his account is blocked or until he gets tired of it. The best option is to be boring, answer short and corny, or ignore the troll's messages altogether.
Step 3
Answer rarely. Trolls often don't like waiting long for someone to reply to their message. Write once every 2-3 days or even less often, and you will probably be considered too slow and boring victim and will be left alone. However, if there are many participants in the discussion, this method may not work.
Step 4
Do not take what the troll says to heart, especially if he gets personal. Remember that his goal is to offend, make you argue, get angry, lose your temper. You can even agree with the troll, and if he is not too experienced, then your behavior will confuse him. Let's say he is aware that you love cats and writes who these animals are disgusting, go to the toilet anywhere, etc. Don't take his words seriously and write a long message in defense of the troll's words.
Step 5
If you are faced with a not too experienced troll, agree with other participants in the discussion and begin to actively talk, examining in detail the personality of the troll, but at the same time ignoring all the messages that he writes. Pretend that he is not here at all, and you just wash his bones in his absence. The troll's provocations will not work, and he will quickly get tired of hearing nasty things about himself, not being able to speak out and direct the discussion in the right direction.
