Many of you have an account on some website or even your own blog on social networks. You participate in discussions, share your thoughts in chats, and there, on the page or under the next post, he appears - a troll who is rude, gets on your nerves and/or your subscribers, insults and humiliates. Why does he do this, because sometimes he is a complete stranger to you? Why does he behave so aggressively? Several reasons for this behavior have been identified. Emotional breakdown. It can happen to any of us. Physical fatigue, stress, conflicts at home and at work, accumulated irritation lead to the fact that the slightest spark in the form of any controversial statement can lead to an explosion of unmotivated aggression against a completely innocent person in the process of Internet dialogue. It’s difficult to call such people real trolls. As a rule, such a conflict does not last long, and, often, the person then apologizes for his unrestrained behavior. Thirst for power. Austrian psychologist Alfred Adler believed that the basis of the human psyche is a feeling of one’s own inferiority. This feeling of inferiority is based on the belief that others are superior to him in some way. It arises in response to fears, resentments and humiliations in childhood. Contributions include emotional turmoil throughout life and a loss of self-esteem. In order to overcome a traumatic experience, to protect his psyche from suffering, a person has a need to have superiority over others, he strives for power. But not everyone wins this competition. Some believe that life has unfairly wronged them, that they have not received the glory and recognition they deserve. Such people crave revenge, but can only cope with those who are weaker than them. That's why there are so many of them on the Internet, because... They are not capable of open conflict; trolls are too cowardly for that. In chats, they humiliate others using obscene words and expressions, this gives them an awareness of their own importance and an illusory opportunity to demonstrate their power over the mental state of another person. Desire for attention. Man, by the standards of nature, is a weak animal. Man has no claws, no fangs, no horns, no hooves. We run slowly and swim poorly, we have difficulty climbing trees and we cannot fly. To survive on Earth, Homo Sapiens need group support and attention. An infant begs for the mother's attention by crying, a child obeys his parents and teachers, an adult attracts interest in his person with his actions, statements, and attitude towards other people. It happens that the child is not loved and not noticed. The only thing he can receive from loved ones is scolding for any unseemly offenses. He doesn't know any other way to attract attention. As adults, trolls demonstrate the same pattern of behavior on the Internet - hysterics, insults, threats. Moreover, he will enjoy such interaction, as if fueled by scandals. Inability to defend one's position. Unfortunately, logic and the ability to conduct discussions are rarely taught in any schools. Sometimes a person does not have enough arguments to substantiate his point of view and win the interlocutor to his side. Then, instead of selecting the necessary arguments, he tries to forcefully impose his position, resorting to distorting the facts and humiliating his opponent. Peculiarities of upbringing. If a child’s father and mother resolved conflicts with the help of threats, rudeness and rudeness, then in adulthood he will apply the same standards of behavior that were accepted in his parental family. The troll will not consider his dialogues to be anything out of the ordinary. Psychiatric diagnoses. Unfortunately, on the Internet there are sick people with psychiatric disorders that are almost impossible for an ordinary person to track. Only specialists - speech pathologists, clinical psychologists, psychotherapists and psychiatrists - can calculate them. Such people can cause a feeling of discomfort with their illogical statements, outright rudeness and!
