But if you know how to deal with these types of people and comments, you can rise above and not allow them to take you down to their level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help you see how this can be done, here are three tips for dealing with trolls on the internet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2><b>Recognize The Signs Of Someone Trolling<\/b><\/h2>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing you\u2019ll need to do when interacting with people online is to know what signs to be on the lookout for in order to determine if someone is being a troll. Sometimes, especially for people of older generations who go online at places like their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.morningstarseniorliving.com\/communities\/assisted-living-centennial-jordan\/senior-living-communities-centennial\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">assisted living facilities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it can be hard to know if someone is being a troll because the idea of trolling online just seems so foreign. But if you can recognize the traits, it can be easier for you to know how to respond.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, if someone is trying to troll people online, they will do things like not even appearing to listen to evidence or reason from the other side, resort to name-calling or other disrespectful acts, and try to redirect the conversation away from the original topic. If you notice any of these things happening on posts you see, it\u2019s fair to say that this is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchenginejournal.com\/defeat-online-trolls\/323439\/#close\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">troll-like behavior<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2><b>Don\u2019t Dwell There<\/b><\/h2>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the main objectives of online trolls is to get a rise out of people and get people worked up about something. So <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/bitesize\/articles\/zfmkrj6\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">when you can avoid<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> doing this, you take away a lot of their perceived power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help you in doing this, you\u2019re going to want to take steps that will keep you from dwelling in the space where the trolls are. This might mean blocking people from your social profiles or feeds, unfollowing certain groups, or just taking a break from being on social media for a while.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2><b>Try To Maintain Respect<\/b><\/h2>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you do feel impressed to respond to a troll online or something that seems to be intent on stirring things up and hurting people\u2019s feelings, the best thing you can do is attempt to respond with respect. If you\u2019re <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ideas.ted.com\/smart-ways-to-handle-snark-and-trolls-on-social-media\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">able to empathize<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with this troll and understand that something bigger might be at play in their lives that they need real help with, it can help you to take a step back from what\u2019s going on and gain some perspective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re having a hard time dealing with trolls online, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you do this more successfully.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether they\u2019re bots trying to sow discord in online communities or just people having a bad day and wanting to lash out at others, online trolls can ruin your experience on social media and other online platforms.
