      1 People react differently to being trolled. The most common reactions are 
      2 either getting angry and take it personally or else get 
      3 unmotivated and simply give up in what you are doing (normally the 
      4 subject of the troll). This post gives three tips on how to deal 
      5 with trolling to avoid any of the two extreme reactions mentioned above.
      6 
      7 1.Take suggestions irrespective of who suggests them
      8 Sometimes people get angry when they are trolled by others who are not 
      9 familiar with the subject or are younger. 
     10 Don.t do that. Look only at the suggestion and not at who is suggesting 
     11 it. That way you are open to trolling by anyone, 
     12 irrespective of whether the person is an expert or not.
     13 
     14 2.Don.t take it personal
     15 Another reason why people get angry when they are trolled is that they 
     16 associate the trolling with themselves. 
     17 They think that the person trolling them is doing so, to ridicule them. 
     18 This is not always true. There are many 
     19 types of characters in the world, so some people will be honestly 
     20 interested in helping you, whilst others want to 
     21 demotivate you. People who want to demotivate you will misuse trolling 
     22 and instead of making constructive trolls, 
     23 they will troll to destroy you psychologically. In either case, whether 
     24 constructive trolling or malicious trolling, 
     25 you should never get angry you since you will not solve anything that 
     26 way. If the trolling is genuine you will 
     27 annoy the person giving you advice. On the other hand if the trolling is 
     28 malicious, by getting angry you will help 
     29 your enemy (the person trolling you maliciously) win, cause in the end 
     30 that is what they are after.
     31 
     32 3.Don.t Reply immediately
     33 Don.t rush to reply for the trolling being proposed. First allow the 
     34 person doing the trolling to make a point, 
     35 then think about the point before you start debating. First start on 
     36 what you agree with the person, ending up 
     37 with the points you do not agree on. This will help you create a 
     38 relaxing conversation by pointing out the points 
     39 you agree with first. By debating lastly the points which you do not 
     40 agree on, you will make more impact since the 
     41 last points are the most remembered.
     42 
     43 Apart from the above three points, make sure that you always smile when 
     44 you are being trolled. This will help you 
     45 create a friendly shat and shows that you are confident in what you 
     46 think.
