We all get haters and trolls writing mean things on our videos every so often. It can feel like they have a personal issue with the fact that you exist and are making content. I really have never understood the mentality it takes to sit on the internet and write nasty things about someone to try and upset them or gain leverage over how they behave. It seems quite controlling and narcissistic to want to behave in these days. I try to think that these people obviously have something going on in their lives that they are really unhappy about or maybe poor upbringing/trauma to behave like this but so many who have experienced trauma etc dont sit bullying others. It must take someone really hurting and hateful and angry inside to behave in these ways and likely have a lack of empathy.
They obviously get enjoyment and kicks from it. I wonder if they ever regret behaving in these ways or just find enjoyment continuously trying to upset others. I really do think the best way to deal with them is to just block and ignore the moment you notice their pattern. Theres no point replying to them at all. Without you listening and others listening they will surely get bored and move on to their next target. I think its good to remind yourself that not every comment needs a response. When people try to provoke you it is often best to just give them nothing to work with. You cant stop someone being nasty towards you but you can control their access to you and your own response.
What are your thoughts on dealing with people like this on YouTube and TikTok etc?
