I am always glad when some mental health professionals are willing to say it as it really is. Internet trolls, are something Dr Phil’s states he hates.
I’ve been trolled over the last 2 years, by sociopaths, paedophiles – been told to go kill myself, had hater pages set up about me, and had continual abuse from very unhealthy people and I am tired of it. One of several reasons I am no longer running my Facebook community page.
There are deep psychological reasons why people becomes trolls, but they still know what they are doing is wrong….. because they do it under fake and anonymous profiles.
And the harm they cause is terrible, far too often resulting in suicide, severe depression etc.
Online abuse, trolling, is severe abuse……. not just ‘bullying’ which really minimizes what it really is.
It is sociopathic abuse, ‘planned intent’ to cause harm and suffering to another human being.
Glad to see some people willing to say how horrific this is, and not pussy foot around people and make excuses for them.
Way too many people are dying at the hands of abusers……… and abuse of every kind is increasing – child abuse, sexual violence, domestic violence, internet abuse etc……. all increasing.

Oh my god i didn’t even know that was going on. I’m sorry about that is horrible. I haven’t been on fcbk as its not very good help at the moment. It’s a time waster and nobody really gives a shit about what i have to say anyway so whats the point. I Wish you didn’t get so much shit from these disgraceful people. Xx

I understand what you are feeling about no-one gives a shit about what we have to say.
Unless you meet what most people’s ‘own’ needs are – and talk about what ‘they’ want to hear, they aren’t interested. I lost all my friends over the last 3 years, due to this. Plus being honest about things most people don’t want to know about. But, it proved they weren’t really friends.
I am no longer ‘only’ interested in ‘their’ interests – their exercising, their selfies, their jobs, their children etc…….. and I have other more important interests like; child protection, reaching out to help people suffering, charity work – but they ignore all that – not interested – as this is out of their egocentric needs. I’ve accepted shallow, egocentric people, will act they way they do and not care about others who are suffering.
Yes, I’ve had more than my share of online cyber abuse and I am pretty over it. Some people can be mean, nasty, selfish, uncaring, deliberately choosing to vent at others due to their own issues – and have no remorse, no conscience and not give a shit how much it hurts the person they are venting on.
I need a break from all that and I am not missing the hassle, that’s for sure!

Yeah I’ve told my secret and nobody has checked on me. Plus none of them like or comment on any of my awareness stuff as well. I deactivated my account and I feel better. Have a good day lilly. Hugs
